Fees for 2012/13

Below are the standard annual tuition fees listed for postgraduate students commencing their first year of study in 2012/13.

Fees quoted are for one year of study only and are subject to increase in subsequent years.  The University reserves the right to alter the level of fee.

Some courses may have different fees so it is advisable to check the list of Non-standard fees shown in the tabbed table below.

The University recommends that you have access to sufficient funds to cover your living expenses.  You may find it helpful to check examples of comprehensive student budgets.

Tuition fees are due at the beginning of each year of study, but in certain circumstances, you may be able to pay in instalments.  Refunds for periods of absences are not normally made.

If you are an overseas student who requires a Tier 4 Student Visa to enter the UK, you will not be permitted to undertake part-time study.  For further information, please refer to the UKCISA website.
