Tuition fees
Everything you need to know about tuition fees
How much are tuition fees?
Full-time study
Our undergraduate study fees in 2024/25 are £9,250 a year for UK home students and £15,850 a year for overseas students. EU students who meet home fee status are also charged £9,250.
The UK Government recently proposed that tuition fees for UK home students will increase by 3.1% to £9,535 from 1st August 2025. This increase is subject to Parliamentary approval and the vote is expected to take place later this year. Further information is available on GOV.UK.
The UK Government has set a tuition fee cap for some integral foundation years from 1st August 2025. The tuition fee cap is £5,760 and applies to home students only. The final list of integral foundation courses which will attract the lower fee has yet to be confirmed but is expected soon. The tuition fee for years of study after the integral foundation year will be charged at a higher level. Further information on integral foundation years is available on GOV.UK.
Any tuition fee which is impacted by these changes will be updated on the individual course page following approval.
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.
