Fees and Financing

When your completed application has been considered by our Admissions Board, we will let you know whether or not you have academic clearance. Advice of academic clearance indicates only that a candidate has been selected by the Admissions Board on academic grounds. It does not indicate that a candidate can enrol; this can only be confirmed when the necessary finance has been secured.

The costs of studying at WMU are summarised earlier in this Handbook, and fuller details of financial arrangements can be found in the Fees & Facilities leaflet, which will be available from spring 2023.

Major international donors usually provide full fellowships, although there is a small number of tuition-fee only fellowships. Applicants’ employers must apply for this donor funding. Several donors require that the candidate should complete a motivational statement in order to be considered. The blank forms for employers and candidates to complete can be found on our website.
