Tuition Fees
Tuition fees cover the cost of your study at university. Fees include charges for things like your tuition, examinations and graduation.
You can get loans and grants to help you pay your tuition fees and living costs; our Student Loan Section has more information regarding what loans and grants you may be eligible for.
Our Tuition Fees are set out below:

Aberystwyth International Scholarships, worth £2,000 each year towards tuition fees, are available for International (non-EU) students commencing a full-time undergraduate programme in September 2016. See https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/undergrad/fees-finance/scholarships/non-eu/ for details and conditions.
Tuition fees for Home/EU undergraduates are regulated by the Welsh Government and the UK Government. The University will amend all Home/EU undergraduate Tuition Fees in line with any alteration advised by the Welsh Government and UK Government. Any alterations in these regulated fees will affect both existing and new students.
The fee rates listed above are for fees in 2016/17 only. The University expects that the UK Government will allow tuition fees will rise by a modest amount in future years to take account of inflationary pressures for subsequent years. For subsequent years of study please assume a 3% inflationary increase year-on-year.
The fees increase will allow for a combination of factors, and the rise will not necessarily be the same as the published UK rate of inflation (the Consumer Price Index) in the year. This is because UK rate of inflation is just one of many factors considered when setting the annual fee policy.

The Welsh Government is yet to confirm arrangements for 2021-22 onwards, which means that for students starting in 2021-22 or after, tuition fees may rise for any successive years of study, mapped according to any inflation-linked maximum tuition fee permitted by the Welsh Government. These increases would also apply for the proportional fees charged for Year Abroad and Year in Industry.
We will inform all applicants and students of the fee levels for 2021-22 and any inflation-linked increases for successive years of study as soon as confirmation is received from Welsh Government, and will publish updates [on this page]. You should check the updated fee information on this page before applying. Up to date details of the relevant fees will be set out in our offer documentation, and your terms and conditions with us will describe how we may be entitled to increase or otherwise change fees during the period of your study with us.
