Fees and Funding

Fee Status and Fee Assessment

Guildhall School is a publicly funded educational institution and must charge two levels of fee: the lower 'home' fee and the higher 'overseas' fee. Students pay the 'home' or 'overseas' fee depending on whether they meet certain criteria as set out by Government fee regulations. Students at the Guildhall School are studying at higher education (HE) level in England, so must meet different criteria than students studying in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, and students studying a course at further education (FE) level.
