Fee Schedule - 2027/28
The tuition fees are for the listed academic year, subsequent years of study whether full or part-time will be charged at the rate for that year, except where indicated.
Please refer to the undergraduate tuition fees table for details of regulated Home fees and the amount charged by the School.
All other tuition fee levels are set by the School’s Board of Governors. Fees for continuing students will be set at least four months in advance and will reflect the inflation rate (using RPI) at the time of approval, as well as any more significant changes in the cost of delivery (e.g. utility costs) where relevant. In order for the School to meet these increasing costs, you should budget for an annual increase of no more than 6% or RPI, depending on which is higher.
