100% Online degree BSc (Hons) Cyber Security

UK students may be eligible for a student loan for this online distance-learning course.

• Apply for a part-time loan even for full-time study to allow flexibility in funding.

• Submit your loan application at least 6-8 weeks before your chosen start date to avoid delays. We can’t officially enrol you or allow you to start your course until your loan has been approved and verified by the Student Loans Company (SLC).

If you’re self-funding your course, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for a Walbrook Scholarship. The Walbrook Scholarship is an award of £1,200 towards your tuition fees, spread over the duration of your course and reducing your total fees. You are eligible to apply if you are funding your course yourself (you are not taking a government undergraduate student loan) and your household income is less than £3,500 per month.

If you experience financial difficulty as an undergraduate student, you can apply for support from our Hardship Fund. Hardship funds are made available to UK students twice in the academic year – you’ll be informed when applications are open and allocation of funds will be agreed by the Scholarship, Bursaries and Prizes Committee.

If you're not funding your undergraduate degree with a tuition fee loan, you’ll need to make a pre-payment of your tuition fees to accept your unconditional offer.

• The pre-payment amount is based on one month’s tuition fee, which will depend on your course and study mode, and with set limits to make it manageable. You’ll need to pay at least £500, and no more than £900.

• You’ll have 90 days to pay, and your pre-payment must be made at least 7 days before your start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available monthly intake.

• Undergraduate students using a government tuition fee loan are not asked to make a pre-payment.

You can get 2% off your total fees if you pay annually in advance or 10% off if you pay upfront in full for an undergraduate course.
