The kit bundle will cost £160.

If choosing this option, please note that your kit can only be issued to you once proof of your loan is received by the university. When applying for your tuition fee loan, please select the ‘with the kit included’ option, charged at £8,110. Students will need to undergo an enhanced DBS check due to the work placement element of this course, which will be funded by the department. However, you may wish to pay for a yearly subscription to the DBS Update Service which will allow you to keep your DBS certificate up to date and allow employers to check online that the document is still current or if any additional information has been added since its issue.
