Fees & Finance
Undergraduate Degree Courses
Eligible students can apply for government funding to help meet tuition fee and living costs. If you are planning to pay for the tuition fee with a student loan, you must start your student loan application as soon as possible. We can offer you help and support to do this via BIMM Institute or at the film school.

Screen and Film School welcome applications from EU students who have pre-settled or settled status in the UK. Unfortunately, we cannot accept international students unless you already have a Student Visa which allows you to be in the country for the duration of the course you would like to study.
The Fair Access Fund
Every student has different needs and The Fair Access Fund aims to support successful Screen and Film School undergraduate applicants in the following ways:
- Financial support: Financial support for tuition fees and maintenance costs including rent
- Course material support: Software, hardware and reading materials to support engagement with a Degree course
- Engagement support: Specific support needs including counselling, additional learning support or help to access Disabled Students Allowance (DSA)
The Fair Access Fund is available through our validating partner BIMM Institute. Further information on the Fair Access Fund for 2021/22 will be available soon.
Professional Diploma Courses
If you need financial support for the diploma courses, there are banks that could offer you a loan. Otherwise, the course fees don’t need to be paid until two weeks before the course start date, giving you time to save before joining us.
For the Filmmaking Diploma you must accept our offer and pay a non-refundable deposit of £500. This deposit can be paid online, by direct transfer or in cash at the school office. This deposit is part of the total fees payable.

International Students
International students pay different fees to students from the UK. You’re usually an international student if you’ve not lived in the UK/EU for the last 3 years. From September 2021, students from the EU will also pay international fees.
Fees status
Your tuition fee charge will depend on whether you’re classified as a student from ‘Home’ or ‘Overseas’. These classification rules are strictly determined by the UK Government.
UKCISA provides information on tuition fees to help you assess your fees status. This guide should give you a clear idea of whether you have a home or overseas student status.
Screen and Film School welcome applications from EU students who have pre-settled or settled status in the UK. Unfortunately, we cannot accept international students unless you already have a Student Visa which allows you to be in the country for the duration of the course you would like to study.
