UK / EU Admissions Information

This page explains enrolment information for students that are residents of the United Kingdom and Europe.

Student Fee Information

Currency: All figures quoted are in pounds sterling (GBP).

Payment Plans

Course fees are payable in quarterly instalments. Full payment of all course fees prior to course start results in a discount specified on the individual course details pages. Payment in instalments is only available to UK and EU citizens, i.e. non-UK/non-EU citizen are required to settle the full course in advance (taking advantage of the discount) further information can be found on the International Admissions page.

Registration Fees

In order to apply for a course, a registration fee must be paid. It is only upon receipt of this fee that applications will be considered.

Security Deposit

For instalment plans a security deposit equivalent to one month's course fee is payable one month prior to commencement of the course. It will be refunded at the course end.

Note: For degree candidates applying through UCAS, the details regarding registration fees are slightly different and the fee paid, by the applicant, to UCAS, does not form part of the SAE registration fee. The Qantm registration fee becomes payable as soon as a candidate has been accepted onto the course. Course places cannot be held until the Qantm registration fee has been received.

Funding Information

Qantm College is a privately-owned and operated organisation that is part of SAE Education Ltd, and does not, therefore, attract government assistance with the paying of its fees for non-degree courses. For residents of the UK the following options are available:

Local Education Authority (LEA) loans

From 2006/2007 degree students will be able to take out a student loan to cover the cost of their fees, which The Student Loans Company will pay directly to the University. Students will commence repayment of the tuition fee loan after they have completed their course and are earning more than £15,000 per annum. This does not affect the total tuition fee at private colleges such as Qantm College, although it is an indication of the maximum loan available for tuition from your LEA. This is only for those entering higher education in 2006/07 onwards. Please enquire with your LEA about how to arrange this.

Please see www.studentfinancedirect.co.uk for further information.
EU Nationals (other than UK) can also apply for student loans. Please see Finance for EU students

Grant-Giving Trusts

There are numerous Grant-Giving Trusts throughout the UK and some of our students have been lucky enough to receive money from them. To find out more on these you need to visit your local library reference section and ask for any information available. Books worth looking for are: "The Directory of Grant Giving Trusts" and "A Guide to the Major Trusts". Once you have the names and addresses of the Trusts, write to as many as possible. Start with the ones in your area and slowly branch out. Enclose literature outlining the course you want to do and your aims at course completion; the more professional your application, the more likely you are to get help with your funding

Access & Equity Policy

Qantm College endeavours to provide an environment where access to courses and financial support is not limited on the basis of age, gender or sexual orientation, marital status, national or ethnic background, religion or physical or intellectual disability. The College seeks to promote equal opportunities for all prospective and enrolled students. In so-doing, Qantm College ensures that terms of all anti-discrimination legislation are enshrined in its own constitution, practiced and enforced by all employees.

Because of the nature of some programmes of study, certain disabilities (eg hearing or sight impairment) may preclude individuals from being admitted. Certain applications may be rejected on the grounds of health and safety.

Policy in Relation to Applicants with Disabilities

Qantm College is sensitive to the desires and requirements of all individuals and groups wishing to undertake study with the organisation and, wherever possible, endeavours to provide an environment where study can be safely undertaken by students with a range of abilities. Selection procedures for applicants with disabilities are dealt with on an individual basis, taking into account the precise nature of the disability and in the context of the qualification being sought.

All programmes of study with Qantm involve the use of electronic and electrical technology. The degree of reliance on this technology will vary from course to course. For the most part, these requirements produce no significant barrier to access by those with disabilities. However, Qantm College is particularly cautious in circumstances where students will have access to equipment which, if incorrectly handled, may bring about the threat of injury or death. In the context of programmes currently on offer, this concern is reserved largely for the practical strand of any film module, where students are required to handle high-voltage and often excessively heated lighting rigs or may, on occasion, have to access elevated gantry systems. (Note: gantry systems are not currently in use at branches of Qantm in the UK).

Generally, these considerations will only impact on those who suffer from severely restricted mobility (normal wheelchair access excepted) or extreme hearing or sight impairment. At the time of application to study, determination will be made, by the Programme Coordinator or College Manager, as to whether an applicants disability precludes them from access to a course on the grounds of safety. Where necessary, this will be done in consultation with specialists and health and safety professionals.

At the discretion of the College Manager, students registered disabled may, at their own request, be accompanied during their studies by a registered carer or direct family member.
