The short film features prospective students and sets the record straight on student finance.

The Company's 2012/13 information and guidance was unveiled to hundreds of higher education delegates at its Partner Seminar which took place in Manchester this week.

The Student Loans Company's Director of Marketing and Communications Jenifer Stirton, said:

"It's important that students and their parents and partners have the information they need to take the decision to go to university. 
 "We've launched our information and guidance to support them in understanding the student finance application process from applying to finance to payment and, over time, repayment of their loans.

"Our 2012/13 myth-busting podcast addresses some of the issues of prospective students."

The Student Loans Company's IAG Partner Seminars take place annually and this year will also be held in London on 28 September and Birmingham on 6 October.

The events are aimed at those who work with young people and adults considering starting higher education next year. Partner organisations including UCAS and the Office for Fair Access will also share the latest news and there will be specialist workshops running throughout the day.
