Tuition Fees - How Much Are They?

General Principles 

  1. Fees are per annum unless otherwise stated. All figures are GBP (£) unless otherwise stated. 
  2. Fees are set by year of entry,
  3. For students starting in 2024/25, and unless noted specifically otherwise, fees will remain the same for the duration of a course. 
  4. For students starting their programme in 2025/26 (and later), fees will be subject to an annual inflationary increase and are expected to rise throughout the programme of study. The fee listed on the course database is for the first year of the course only; fees for subsequent years will be confirmed not less that 3 months before the start of the academic year to which the increase is intended to apply and will be published on the Finance webpages.
  5. In deciding the annual level of increase the University will take into account inflationary pressures on the costs of delivery.
  6. Tuition fees will rise annually by up to the higher of;       
    1. 6%, or,     
    2. the latest annual percentage increase in the Consumer Prices Index.
  7. EU students will pay the overseas fee for the duration of their course.
