2025-26 Postgraduate Tuition Fees

The UK and Welsh Governments have confirmed that European Union (EU) students commencing their studies in the academic year 2021/22 will no longer be eligible for home fee status. Fees for EU students will therefore be charged in line with international fees from 2021/22 onwards.

We are delighted to provide our international students with the International Accommodation Award, meaning the cost of your on-campus housing can be included in your tuition fees. In addition, your fees will remain the same for the duration of your course.
