Part-time Higher Education
SRC part-time HE course fees are calculated using an hourly rate. These fees are reviewed annually and any increase in costs are normally in line with inflation but may also be subject to charges applied by central government and/or awarding bodies.
The tuition fees for part-time HE courses for 2025/26 are listed on the individual HE course information pages.
Full fees are due at enrolment but part-time HE students who obtain an award notice (grant or loan) from the Student Loans Company (SLC) for full course fees will not have to pay any fees at the point of enrolment. The award notice will be sufficient to confirm that fees will be paid through SLC.
Students who have applied for a grant or loan from SLC and have an acknowledgement letter confirming they have made an application, will pay a minimum of £100 or 25% of the full course fee (whichever is higher) at the point of enrolment.
When the College receives payment from the Education Authority (EA), then a refund will be processed for the deposit to be returned to the student. If the College does not receive payment from the EA, the student is still responsible for the payment of the outstanding fees.
Students who have not applied for a loan or grant must pay full fees at enrolment.
All HE applicants are required to complete the Acceptance of Liability to Pay HE fees form and upload the completed form to the application portal before enrolment. The form is available at: Acceptance of Liability to Pay HE Fees 25/26.
If a student no longer wishes to proceed with their chosen course they are entitled to cancel within 14 days of the start date of their course. The student should complete the linked form below and send to admissions@src.ac.uk

This is means-tested on household income. EU students may only get a fees allowance. Students should complete a ‘PTL1 Form’ which is signed by the College and returned to their local Education Authority.
