Essential information
Tuition fees
Undertaking postgraduate study is a serious commitment and involves careful financial planning at the time of application and for the duration of the programme. Your costs will comprise tuition fees and living costs. You can find a full list of both UK/EU and overseas tuition fees here: www.qmul.ac.uk/tuitionfees
The Research Councils and many other funding bodies (including those based overseas) pay fees direct to the College. Students who are not sponsored by public bodies, either in this country or elsewhere, are required to pay their fees either before, or at the time of enrolment at the beginning of the session.
