HOME STUDENTS Current fees for 2021/22 are listed as below.
The annual fee for undergraduate students studying full-time is £9,250 for 2021/22. This is a regulated fee; the Government determines the maximum fee a university may charge. The University expects to apply any permitted increase, so subsequent years’ fees may increase, but will do so by no more than the rate of inflation as measured by the RPIX index.
Any permitted increases in fees will be published on the University’s website so for the most up-to-date fees information please refer to our Website.
2021/22 FEES: • All full-time undergraduate degrees - £9,250.00 • Two-year accelerated degrees - £11,100.00* • We also offer a pro-rata fee structure for part-time study.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS • All full-time undergraduate degrees - £14,000*

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
LOANS FOR TUITION FEES Eligible UK students are entitled to apply for a tuition fee loan to cover the full cost of tuition fees. These are paid direct to the University and you don’t have to pay anything back until you have graduated and are earning over £25,725 per annum*.
LOANS FOR LIVING COSTS (UK STUDENTS ONLY) Eligible UK students can also take out a maintenance loan to help pay for things like accommodation, food, transport and books. The maximum amount you can borrow depends on your household income as well as where you are studying and living. This will be paid into your nominated bank account at the start of each term, once confirmation of your registration has been sent to Student Finance. Find out more at: www.gov.uk/student-finance ABOUT OUR FEES New and continuing students will be charged the maximum permitted fee, determined by the Government and measured on how we perform against the Teaching Excellence Framework. Fees for our part-time undergraduate courses are usually a proportion of the full-time fee depending on the number of modules studied (commonly referred to as ‘course intensity’).
