Fees for 2011/12
The standard annual tuition fees listed are for postgraduate students commencing their first year of study in 2011/12.
Certain programmes have tuition fees that are different from the standard rate, so it is advisable to check the list of Non-standard fees.
For 2011/12 entry, we expect students to need £7,500 - £9,500 to cover living and study expenses (excluding tuition fees) for a year’s study.
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 absence are not normally made.
