Franchise partnerships

When a lead provider, or the franchisor, enters into a franchise agreement with another provider, or the franchisee, the lead provider holds responsibility for all aspects of Student Finance. Please refer to our updated guidance to ensure you’re well placed to deliver your franchised courses effectively.

2024/25 course collection

You can now submit your academic year 2024/25 full-time undergraduate courses and postgraduate master’s courses for Scottish students on our Courses Management Service (CMS).

LLE guidance

When the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) launches, it will change the way providers set their tuition fee limits. The government has set limits on what they can charge students for tuition. Launching in 2025, the LLE will transform the post-18 student finance system in England. DfE’s guidance explains how tuition fee limits will change for the LLE.
