Fees for international students

Each of our course pages show the fee for international students, where applicable.

In accordance with Home Office guidelines, fees for students undertaking degree programmes who are nationals of countries outside the UK are higher than those for UK students. 

The definition of an international student is:

A student who has not been ordinarily resident in the UK throughout the three year period preceding 1 September, 1 January or 1 April closest to the beginning of the first term of his/her course and the student has been resident therein, during any part of that three year period, wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education. At the date referred to in above the student has no settled status in the United Kingdom.

Fees for the first year of study must be paid in full, using a credit or debit card, before we can issue a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies).

Fees for subsequent years of the course can be paid in three equal instalments. The first is due at enrolment, the second in December and the third in March.

If the course is longer than one year, the fees that will be charged after the first year will be subject to an annual inflationary increase. More information can be found on the fees and funding section of the course page.

Funding sources, such as postgraduate loans, are not currently available to international students.
