Fees

Course fees for students on master’s and other postgraduate courses vary and depend on the type of course being studied and the study mode. Full information on exact course fees can be found on each individual course page on the university’s website.

The university offers an interest-free payment plan for UK students whose tuition fees are not paid by a sponsor. It also offers a range of discounts, including an alumni discount of 20% on postgraduate tuition fees. Often scholarships and other fee discounts are announced throughout the year, so it’s worthwhile checking the university’s website for up-to-date information.

The university also offers 100 funded PhD studentships, which not only cover all tuition fees but pay a salary to cover living costs. Full information on the types of studentships available and how to apply can be found on the university’s website.
