This course is designated as distance learning, so maintenance loans are not available unless a student is disabled and eligible for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA).
For students paying tuition fees privately, a £500 security deposit is required on accepting their offer to confirm their place. The deposit is refunded when the student completes the course.
COURSE FEES BREAKDOWN
The BA (Hons) programmes are delivered in partnership with De Montfort University. Tuition fees for 2027/28 are £10,050, covering all the teaching and support you need to complete your De Montfort University degree.
In addition, PPA offers a range of vocational hours within our 3-year courses, to enhance your skills and career opportunities. These come with an additional £2,000 charge per year, payable privately to the college.
These additional vocational hours and the fee charged for these hours are not associated with DMU.
DMU contracts with the student for the tuition fee element only, and not any additional fees. PPA contracts with the student include any additional fees and accept full responsibility and liability for these funds.
STUDENT FINANCE
The BA (Hons) courses may, subject to eligibility, be funded through the Student Loan Company and maintenance loans and/or grants may be available.
Student funding (and course designation by DMU) is reviewed annually and may be subject to change.
TUITION FEE LOAN

- Tuition Fee Loans are paid directly to your university

The amount you can receive is means-tested and will depend on:
- Your household income
- Where you live while studying
