Tuition fees

Good to know

  • Detailed fee and cost information for your child's course and year of entry are found on our course pages.

How much are fees?

There are currently two rates of tuition fees:

  • The Home rate (for UK students)
  • The Overseas rate (for international students)

The rates charged are based on your child's fee status, which we assess after we receive their application.

How much 01

Home tuition fees

This is the maximum fee that universities can charge Home students and is set by the UK government.

You can find out more about how fee status is assessed on our Fee Status webpage.

Overseas tuition fees

Tuition fees for overseas students are set by the College. These vary depending on the course.

Overseas students are not eligible for a Tuition Fee Loan from the UK government. However, we encourage your child to contact their Ministry of Education or British Council education advisor for information available funding.

How much 02

Fee increases

All students can expect inflationary increases to their tuition fees for every year their course lasts.

Overseas fees increases are set by the College and are expected to rise each year by an amount linked to inflation.

Extra course costs

Some of our courses involve extra costs that are not covered by tuition fees. Examples include printing costs, books and field trips.

Additional costs can be found on each course page.

Tuition Fee Loan

If your child is a Home student they do not need to pay the cost of tuition upfront. They can apply for a non-means tested Tuition Fee Loan from the UK government.

If your child is an EU national, you can find out more about their loan eligibility.

How do the Tuition Fee Loans work?

The money is paid directly to the university through the Student Loans Company. Your child will need to apply for a loan for each year of study.

Loan info

Does the loan need to be paid back?

Yes, your child will need to pay back the Tuition Fee Loan.

How loan repayments work

The Tuition Fee Loan attracts an interest rate, even while your child is studying.
