HELP WITH FINANCE
Tuition fees – UK and EU students
We are always on hand to help as much as we can with guidance and information concerning financing your studies. Advice is available before you apply and whilst you are studying, through Student Services.
For UK students studying their first HE course, the tuition fee payment is a deferred payment – i.e. you don’t have to pay the tuition fee until you graduate and start earning over £25,000 a year. You defer payment of your tuition fee until after you graduate through a Tuition Fee Loan. The Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the University by the Student Loans Company on your behalf.
In terms of finance, it’s worth remembering that the cost of living in Bangor is generally lower than in other parts of the UK and also that we have our own employment bureau if students are looking for part time work to help cover their costs.

For 2019/20 the fees were set at £9,000 a year for full-time undergraduate courses. The level of tuition fee for 2020/21 is still to be set and you are advised to check the University’s website for the latest information.
If you are an EU non-UK national and have lived in an EU country for at least five years before the start of your course, the deferred payment of the tuition fee should also apply to you. EU students are advised to visit this website: www.gov.uk/student-finance
Additional course-specific costs Depending on the course you are studying, there may be additional course-specific costs that you will be required to meet. These range from costs relating to a particular core or compulsory module that you’ll be required to complete to achieve your qualification e.g. compulsory field trips, uniforms for students on placement, DBS check; costs relating to professional body membership, travel to placements, specialist software, personal safety equipment, or optional costs such as graduation events for your course, optional field trips, or Welcome Week trips. Please see the course description on the website for details of any additional course-specific costs.
