Funding and Finance

Tuition Fees

Tuition fees for our postgraduate programmes can either be found using the links on the individual course pages, or here. You will receive an invoice for these fees at the start of your first term and there are a number of payment methods available to you.

As well as tuition fees, you must also consider your living costs. Expected living costs vary depending on the choices you make, e.g. paying college costs or for privately rented accommodation.

It is very important that you have sufficient funds in place to meet your tuition fees and living costs before you start your course. The University has a small about of hardship funding available to help students who started their studies with a sound financial plan that was compromised by circumstances beyond their control, but it is unable to help students who started their studies with insufficient funds in place to meet their tuition fees and living costs.
