Additional fee information

The fees stated above are for the 2024/25 academic year; fees for 2025/26 have not yet been confirmed by the UK government. We will update this information as soon as it is available. Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to take into account inflationary pressures. Tuition fees cover the cost of your teaching, assessment and operating University facilities such as the library, IT equipment and other support services. University fees and charges can be paid in advance and there are several methods of payment, including online payments and payment by instalment. While the cost of your tuition covers lots of things, it doesn’t cover everything. For instance this course doesn’t cover the cost of any stationary, printing, books or re-assessments which you might need. Some optional modules incur additional costs, such as the cost of field trips. These costs vary considerably by module and will be communicated and explained to students at the point of module selection. All costs associated with compulsory modules will be met by the academic School and optional modules with no additional costs are always available for students to select. There may also be additional costs related to completion of your research project (dissertation). Depending on the topic you choose to research and the nature of the project there may, for example, be travel costs or field expenses that will need to be met.
