What you can expect to pay
- On this page:
- Undergraduate example
- Postgraduate costs
Costs vary from course to course, and the amount you pay will be dependent on where you live and the choices you make. For instance, if you’re not eligible to pay a UK course fee your fee will be higher.
Costs relate to specific courses – and geographical location – and are shown in the course descriptions in the online prospectus.
Unlike some other institutions, our course fees include relevant materials, tuition, assessment and any residential schools. Sometimes there will be books you have to buy yourself or borrow from a local library, but we’re careful to limit the cost as far as we can.
The only extra things you may need to budget for are a computer and travel to tutorials or residential schools. You’ll also be responsible for any telephone or internet service provider charges your suppliers may make.
We offer a flexible payment option that allows you to spread the cost of your study. See How to pay.
Financial support may be available
Don’t forget that financial support towards the cost of studying may also be available. For example, a single person on a salary of £16,500 could be eligible for financial support to pay course fees, plus additional help with costs such as buying a computer, internet access and travel.
