The course fees for all the degrees are £6,165 per annum and these fees are fully funded through the Student Loans Company.
There may be some extra costs incurred by students whilst studying for the degrees such as travel, the DBS check and work-place uniform (if required) as the courses are work-based.
Please contact the Assistant Principal (HE) ksalisbury@cardinalnewman.ac.uk for further details of potential extra costs specifically related to your course of interest.
There is a wealth of information available on-line to support prospective students to apply for their student finance, the following links are especially useful.

To enable all students at Cardinal Newman to achieve their learning goals, we have a dedicated Additional Learning Support (ALS) team. The ALS team, based in St Bede’s building, offers a wide range of support to students if they have an impairment or additional needs which meets the definition of a disability, as defined in the Equality Act 2010.
Where any additional needs are identified, the ALS team will work alongside students to determine any reasonable adjustments that may be required to support with learning. The nature of this may differ from the support you that students have received in the past, as in Higher Education, there is the expectation of progression towards independence, which differs significantly from Further Education.
These adjustments will always be determined on an individual basis and will depend upon the course/professional body requirements, in line with the College requirements. In some circumstances, where support from the ALS department will not be appropriate (e.g. where a specific learning disability is not deemed to have a substantial adverse effect on the student’s ability to carry out normal day to day activities and therefore not considered a disability under the Equality Act 2010), we will refer the student to relevant services within the college for further assistance.
The ALS team can support with the following;
