Students

A major new initiative headed by MoneySavingExpert.com's Martin Lewis launches today to help future students and their parents tackle the myths and misunderstandings – good or bad – about the true cost of their university education under the new 2012 system.

Hundreds of thousands of graduates who started university before 1998 face hikes in their student loan repayments this autumn.

Students moving back home for the summer holidays could get nearly £40 cashback for the unused months on their television licence.

Students may be enjoying a festive break from studies but the row over tuition fees still rages on.

Tens of thousands of graduates have been urged to claim money back after it emerged the bungling Student Loans Company (SLC) has taken millions of pounds in overpayments.

The Government tonight won a crucial Commons vote on raising the upper level of tuition fees to £9,000 a year in England.

Students could pay up to £9,000 a year in tuition fees from 2012, three times the current amount, ministers confirmed today.

Universities in England should be free to set their own tuition fees, a government-backed review has suggested.

University goers have been warned to beware an increasing number of scam emails purporting to be from the official Student Loans Company (SLC).

The Government says it will consider making financial education in schools compulsory as part of a wider education review later this year.
