Money is at the heart of the matter for most students, so managing your budget is vital. Fees for UK and EU full-time undergrauates on degree, HND and Foundation courses are £3,145 for the 2008/2009 academic year. Click here for further information regarding tuition fees.

Fees for international (non-EU) students are different. For details of our international tuition fees, click here.

Work placements are around £1,000 a year. We’ll use some of the additional income received from tuition fees to improve student support and facilities.
Student Loans for Fees

Eligible students won’t have to pay fees before studying. You’ll repay them after you have left university and earning more than £15,000 a year. The government will write off all student loan balances left unpaid 25 years after they have left their course. There is an age restriction on eligibility, currently 50 at the start of the course.
Postgraduate Student Fees

Postgraduate taught and research fees set out are the price of each stage of the awards, and guaranteed for that stage only, provided there is no break in study.

Students starting a new full-time course after successfully completing a designated course with us within the last year will receive a 10% discount on fees. Students taking a new course after a one year break in study will receive a 5% discount. Fees are normally payable in advance and subject to increase each year.
Part-time Students

Part-time students will only be charged fees for the volume of study in any one academic year. Modules are priced at £300 to £400 a module, and once you’ve decided how many to take in a year you’ll only be asked to pay for these.

Financial help is available from your Local Education Authority (LEA) or the university, including a non-repayable grant for fees to help with course costs. There is also a non-repayable course grant to help met the cost of books, travel and course expenditure. Both are available to students from lower income households who are studying the equivalent of at least 50% or a full-time course. You need to apply to your LEA and application forms can be downloaded from www.dfes.gov.uk/studentsupport/formsandguides.
General Information

Professional courses are not eligible for LEA funding, nor are most postgraduate courses except PGCEs. If you’re eligible, the LEA will calculate the amount you will need to contribute towards fees.
Other Charges

Some courses incur additional costs for materials, special facilities or field trips. Details can be found in scheme handbooks, course guides or information leaflets available during registration. Students taking modules with additional charges will be required to pay for them. To find out how much our courses are, visit our courses pages.
Credit Accumulation Transfer Scheme

If you have credit for prior learning, you may be quoted a reduction in fees. It’s important you have written confirmation of these before you register, so we can calculate the correct amount you need to pay.
Liability and debt

Even if you are sponsored, you’re responsible for any outstanding fees or amounts at all times. No student with an outstanding debt can go to the next stage of study, receive an award, be considered for further qualifications, or be given a reference from the university.
Changes in circumstances

If you wish to break your programme of study, you’ll need to inform your course leader and Academic Registry (Student Records), so we can try and arrange to maintain your student status.
