The cost of your fees depends on your course. Details of tuition fees are listed on each course page.

The tuition fees listed above are for full-time courses during the academic year 2025-26. Further tuition fees are payable in each year of study. Non-regulated tuition fees, which usually apply to international students and UK postgraduate students* are subject to an annual increase of a maximum of 5% or the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), whichever is higher.
*Some designated postgraduate courses are regulated by the UK government – the annual fee increase for eligible UK / Home students on these designated courses will not exceed the UK government’s regulated tuition fee limit set for the relevant academic year.

Tuition fee deposit

Self-funded international students who require a visa to study in the UK are required to pay a tuition fee deposit before the university will issue a Confirmation for Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number.

The deposit you pay will be based on the start date of your course.

Paying your fees

Students starting their course in September 2025

If you are starting your course with us in September 2025 a deposit of £5,000 is required to be paid for the university to issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number.

You will need to pay your remaining tuition fees either in full at the start of your course, or in two instalments, by the deadlines below:

If you are starting your course with us in September 2025 the deadlines for the two instalments will be:

Fully or partially officially sponsored international students

If a third party sponsor is paying your fees, you should provide their invoicing details via Student View. A scanned copy of a financial guarantee will be acceptable.

Sponsors should ensure that student fees are paid in full by 1 November of the relevant academic year, or within four weeks of the student’s course start date if this is later than 1 November.

As a student you remain ultimately responsible for the payment of your tuition fees, including where a sponsorship agreement has been approved (see the Student Contract).
