If you're from the UK, you can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan from the UK Government to cover your NMITE tuition fees and living costs. You’ll need to pay these back in instalments once you’re earning above the threshold amount.  

Note, the below information applies to the academic year starting 2024. These fees may change for future years. 

• Tuition Fee Loan: for UK students to cover the cost of tuition fees. The Tuition Fee loan is available regardless of family income. 
•  Maintenance Loan: to help UK students pay for living costs, for example, rent, food, books, travel, and other expenses.  

Check if you’re eligible for these loans, find out how much you can get, how to apply and when you start repaying on the UK Government website.  You don't need to have a confirmed place at NMITE to apply for your student finance. Applications can be made online on the UK Government website. 

Repayment of student loans 

The earliest you’ll start to repay your student loan is on 6 April the year after you finish your course. And you don’t start repayments until you’re earning over a specific amount. Your repayments will come straight out of your pay (you’ll see them in your payslip). But if your earnings drop below the threshold, you’ll stop paying. Discover more on the UK Government website.  

Paying your fees  

Paying with a Tuition Fee Loan: If you’re registered with the Student Loans Company and in receipt of a student loan, NMITE will have collected this information as part of your enrolment process and will collect your fees directly from them.

Paying your fees

You’ll make your first payment as soon as you’re fully enrolled as as an NMITE student; we’ll issue your first invoice approximately 30 days prior to your enrolment date. Subsequent fee payments will be sent approximately 30 days before their due date, and notification will be sent to you that an invoice has been generated.  

Your invoice will be sent to you at your registered address. Once you have received your invoice, you or a third party can: 

• pay in full, following payment instructions on the invoice, using bank transfer 
• set up an instalment payment programme. If you choose to pay in instalments, ensure whoever is paying knows when the payment dates are so that they don’t fall into arrears

Three awards to be allocated

This generous cash scholarship supports women pursuing a degree in Integrated Engineering at NMITE. The aim is to provide more opportunities for women in engineering education – helping to address the current underrepresentation in the field. This scholarship is open to all UK-based and international females. 

Rationale for scholarship 

Women account for only 16.5% of the engineering workforce in the UK. This gender gap originates at a much earlier stage, with low levels of female representation within STEM subjects being seen at A-level and in higher education. In 2017, only 15% of engineering undergraduates in the UK were women, and in 2021 only 23% of students starting A-level Physics were female. 

Central to NMITE’s mission is to train engineers from different walks of life so that the sector better reflects society. By recruiting a wider diversity of undergraduate engineers with greater gender representation, we can deliver creative thinking for engineering solutions to the world’s problems. 

Scholarship level per individual 

£5,000 in cash for the first year of study to be awarded in two instalments in the first year of study.
