Although you need to be enrolled in full time study to qualify for allowances, living costs and course costs through student loans, other support is available.

Minimum enrolment

Minimum study commitment to be eligible to have your fees paid by Student Loan:

• 30 points /0.25 EFTS

Full-time study

You must be enrolled as a full-time student to get an allowance, living costs and/or course related costs through student loan:

• One trimester = 48 points/0.4 EFTS.
• Full year (two or three trimesters) = 96 points/0.8 EFTS.
• Trimester 3 (summer) enrolment only = 36 points/0.3 EFTS.

Any student loan/allowance application cannot be greater than a 52-week period and should not run across two academic years.
