Fees and financial support

Tuition fees 2020-21 tuition fees for full-time UK/EU entrants (including Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) are £9,250. Tuition fees for 2021-22 have not yet been confirmed by the UK Government. This applies to all undergraduate and Foundation Studies courses (except Art and Design Foundation Studies). Lower fees apply to students on their placement or study abroad year. Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to account for inflationary pressures. Please check our online prospectus for more details. Details of the tuition fees for international students can be found online.

Student loans (UK/EU) You don’t need to pay your tuition fees whilst studying – you can take out a Government student loan to cover the cost. Payment will then be deferred until you have left University and are earning a minimum salary. Maintenance loans are also available to help cover living costs whilst at University. For more information on loan entitlement and value, visit our online prospectus.
