Fees

Tuition fees

UCL’s annual tuition fee covers all elements of your tuition, registration and examination (field courses are not included). However, optional modules taken elsewhere in the University of London may attract an additional fee. Fees for accommodation are charged separately. UCL offers several ‘Dual Degree’ programmes where students spend half of their degree studying at UCL and the other half at a university overseas (these are distinct from Year Abroad or International programmes). In these cases, fees are payable to UCL for the time spent studying at UCL, and to the other host university for the time spent there. More details of these can be found at: ucl.ac.uk/prospectus

Please note that the information on this page applies to the 2023/24 academic year. Fees for 2024 entry will be published on the UCL Students website (ucl.ac.uk/students/feesand-funding) as soon as they are available.

How tuition fees are classified

The level of fee will depend upon whether you’re classed as a UK, Overseas or Islands student. You may already know into which category you fall but this will be confirmed if you are offered a place at UCL.

Tuition fees for UK students

UK undergraduate fees are currently (February 2023) set at £9,250 for UK students for the first year of study. Fees for UK undergraduates have been frozen at £9,250 for 2023–24 and 2024–25, but may be subject to increase for the year commencing 2025 and for each year of study thereafter.

UCL reserves the right to increase its fees in line with government policy (including on an annual basis during the programme). You are not required to pay upfront fees. You can apply to the Student Loans Company for a Tuition Fee Loan and your fees will be paid directly to UCL on your behalf. Loan repayments are only made once you have left university and are earning over £25,000 per year. Please see gov.uk/student-finance for further information.

Tuition fees for overseas students

For 2023 entry, UCL’s tuition fees for overseas students range between £24,200 and £47,000 per year. The vast majority of our undergraduate programmes charge a fixed fee every year for overseas students (Medicine MBBS is an exception) and these won’t change during your time with us, so you know upfront exactly how much you’ll need to pay.

Note for EU students: UK withdrawal from the European Union (EU)

The UK has now formally left the EU. Students from the EU, EEA and Switzerland who start their programme of study in 2022 or later will no longer be eligible for the UK (Home) fee status and will pay fees at the overseas rate.
