Teachers and advisors
We recognise the integral role that Teachers and Careers Advisers play in supporting young people. We therefore offer a range of resources to enhance you. We also strongly value the role of Parents and Guardians throughout the young person’s progression, therefore please feel free to share the resources more widely. If there is anything you are looking for that is not listed below, or you would like additional guidance on any of our resources, please contact us for further information.

Student Finance & Repayments
Understanding Student Finance can be confusing, especially with the wealth of resources available. We have collated those we think are most useful, but you can request our own recorded presentation by emailing schoolsandcolleges@winchester.ac.uk
This video from the Department of Education is a strong and comprehensive resource for explaining the process of applying for a Student loan, and the repayments of this loan following University.
