Everything you need to know about tuition fees

Important changes to tuition fees from 2025/26 for undergraduate students

The UK Government have announced an increase to the undergraduate tuition fee cap of 3.1% (in line with inflation) from 1 August 2025. 

This will mean that UK home student tuition fees will be set according to these new limits. To find out more about these changes see GOV.UK.

Changes will affect new and continuing full and part-time students who commenced undergraduate study at UWE Bristol after 1 August 2017.

The Government has introduced these changes to aid the financial stability of the higher education sector and support providers to focus on their core mission of providing world-class education. Read more about student fee increases: what you need to know.

Part-time study

Tuition fees for part-time study are charged a pro-rata amount of the full-time equivalent. International students are not usually able to study part-time due to the immigration restrictions of the Tier 4 student visa.

Holders of higher education qualifications

If you are classed as a UK or EU student and already hold a higher education qualification, you will be charged the same fee as UK or EU students without HE qualifications but you may not be eligible for fees and living cost support.

Other costs to consider

Indicative additional costs

Any additional costs given per course are what you could expect to incur during your studies – and are for items not covered by the standard tuition fee. These could be for materials, textbooks, travel, clothing, software or printing.

Living costs

If you’re living away from home while you study, there are plenty of extra costs you need to cover – including accommodation, travel, bills and food. We’ve estimated that you’ll need to set aside between £14,000–£15,000 per academic year as a single student, based on mid-range accommodation costs. This doesn't include tuition fees or unexpected costs.
