Student Loans - various

• If you start your course before September 2012 you pay your Tuition Fee Loan or Maintenance Loan back when you leave your course and earn over £15,000 a year. Doesn't state the annual tuition fee level: is it the 2011 rate for the entire following 2 years or jumps to 2012 rate?

• The maximum tuition fee a university or college can charge is: £3,290 for 2010/11 and £3,375 for 2011/12. The Tuition Fee Loan covers the tuition fees you’re charged each year of your course. This is (presumably) variable for every following year. Not clear.
