Our tuition fees do not cover general study costs for books, stationery and personal IT equipment. Additional costs may apply for some programmes, such as the cost of lab safety equipment, field trips and craft materials. To find out if your programme is likely to incur additional costs, please contact the school or department directly.

Master’s degree tuition fees

Current tuition fees for taught programmes vary for each programme. To see the cost of your chosen programme, please take a look at the fees section within the relevant programme page which includes the tuition fee and the entry date to which it applies. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to take into account inflationary pressures for future years of entry. Part-time students should also expect a small increase (will not exceed 5%) to their fees for each year of continuing study for the same reason. 

To find out more about the funding options available for your master's programme, please see our master's degree funding page.

Research degree tuition fees

The annual tuition fees below are for new full-time students commencing the first year of study in the specified year only. Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to take into account inflationary pressures. Part-time fees are charged at 50% of the full-time fee. If you are an international student considering part-time study, please email postgraduate research to discuss your eligibility.
