Student loan repayment
Formal Neutral
What it really means
If you took a UK student loan, repayments are taken automatically from your pay once you earn over a set threshold — you never post a cheque. It appears as a deduction on your payslip. International students on tuition-only funding usually are not affected.
Chinese explanation
学生贷款还款：若你办过英国学生贷款，收入超过设定门槛后就会从工资里自动扣还，无需自己转账。它会作为一项扣款出现在工资单上。仅自费学费的国际学生通常不受影响。
