Tuition Fees & Scholarships

*Fees for Year 1 onwards for 2024/5 will be confirmed later in the academic year. The fee for Year 1 onwards for 2023/4 is 18,750 GBP per year – this fee is subject to annual review and may change for 2024/5.

Your tuition fees are fixed for the duration of the course, other than when stated, providing you stay on the same course, so you can be sure that you will not be required to pay any increase. If fees are increased in future years, this will only apply to new students. Tuition fees for returning students can be found on Space (login required).

International students are required to pay the fee in full at or before enrolment. If you require a CAS number to obtain a Tier 4 study Visa you will be required to pay 50% of the fee before a CAS number is issued, and the balance at least one week prior to enrolment. If your Visa application is declined or you do not meet your offer conditions, the amount paid will be refunded, after deduction of an administration fee.  Please note that CAS numbers cannot be issued until you have met your offer requirements.  You can find more information about Visas here.
 
All fees must be paid in £ sterling either online or by bank transfer.
