Getting to grips with finances is a key part of your university preparations.
Tuition fees change every year and some courses have additional costs for things such as trips or special equipment. Fees vary for UK, EU and international students and depend on the type of course you're doing - Foundation, Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Research, part-time, online.
Depending on your course, you may need to buy specialist equipment such as art supplies or laboratory overalls, or contribute to a field trip in addition to the tuition fees listed below.
All of this information is available on our individual course pages, plus details of available scholarships designed to reward excellence or help support students who are struggling.
It's important to know as much as you can about funding and paying for your studies and your university experience and we'll guide you through it all.

Research studentships
A research degree studentship gives you the opportunity of full-time research training leading to the award of a research degree at doctoral level. You would undertake your full-time study on an agreed research programme. A monthly bursary is awarded during the studentship to cover your living and daily travel expenses. The bursary is not subject to tax.
Tuition fees are charged annually. The fees quoted above are for the specified year(s) only. Fees may be higher in future years, for both new and continuing students. Please see the University’s Fees and Finance Policy (and in particular the section headed “When tuition fees change”), for further information about when and by how much the University may increase its fees for future years.
Exceptions
Some courses have a different (non-standard) tuition fee for UK and EU students.
Please visit the fees and funding tab on each individual course page for course specific fees.
Discounts may not be available for non-standard programmes.
Work placements: Students studying a sandwich programme will not be charged tuition fees during their placement year.
