Tuition fees are payable for each year of your course. £9,535 is the maximum fee set by the UK government that we are permitted to charge for home fee-paying students for the academic year 2025-26.

As a general principle, you should expect the tuition fee to increase in each subsequent academic year of your course, subject to government regulations on fee increases and in line with inflation.

This is to ensure we can continue to invest in a high-quality student education experience and support in the face of rising operational costs.

Example fees

This is an example for illustrative purposes only, of what the fees might rise to for a three-year course should the government agree a year-on-year inflationary rise from 2025, assuming the government’s index of inflation remains at 3.1% for each of the three years.

Year 1 £9,535

Year 2 £9,831

Year 3 £10,135

Tuition fee loan

You may be eligible to apply for a tuition fee loan and if you are accepted, you will not have to pay any tuition fees up-front or while you are studying.

Additional costs

Please note that some of our degrees involve additional costs which are not covered by your tuition fee.

EU students

Depending on your residency history, if you’re a student from the EU, other EEA or a Swiss national, with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you’ll normally pay the ‘Home’ tuition fee rate and may be eligible for Student Finance England support.

EU students without settled or pre-settled status will normally be charged fees at the ‘International’ rate and will not be eligible for Student Finance England support. You may be eligible for a scholarship worth 25% off the international fee.
