The Lifelong Learning entitlement is new for 2027 entry. 

It is only relevant for Home Fee status students who live in England.  

Under your Lifelong Learning entitlement, you will have access to government financial support via Student Finance England for four years of full-time tuition throughout your lifetime.

If you are coming to Cambridge following a school education in England and you have not taken additional courses (e.g. a foundation course or a year at another university), we expect that the system of government loans via Student Finance England will be broadly similar to how things worked before the Lifelong Learning entitlement.

For information about the Lifelong Learning Entitlement, please see 

UK Gov section: Lifelong Learning entitlement

This includes details of loan repayments ("Repayment of LLE loans will follow the Plan 5 system* of student loan repayments") and some information about eligibility ("Eligibility criteria for the LLE will track existing higher education student finance nationality and residency rules")

*Plan 5 is the current plan, i.e for students who started their course in or after 2023.
