Research degree fees for international students

Pay your fees ->

Your fee includes access to a comprehensive range of training designed to support all researchers to help you both progress successfully through your research degree studies but also equip you for your future career.

Some courses are split into two categories – classroom based and lab/workshop based.

Not all research degrees are offered on both full-time and part-time basis.

Please note that some subject areas require additional bench fees to be paid on enrolment.
