Help for students who have been made redundant

To help you book your course with confidence, if you have recently been made redundant and:

• You worked at least 3 days per week
• You worked for the same employer for the past year
• Your contract has ended entirely (it's not just a reduction in your working hours)
• You were already enrolled on the course when you received notice

...we'll be able to either reduce your fee to the concessionary fee and refund you the difference, or give you a pro-rata refund of the fees you've paid.

We'll only need a copy of your redundancy letter, and we may check your situation with your former employer.

Find out more and apply
