If you're planning to study one of our taught postgraduate courses, you'll need to pay tuition fees.
Here you can read about tuition fees for:
- MA
- PgDip
- PgCert
- GradDip.
There is a separate page about tuition fees for Research Degrees including MPhil and PhD.
How much you need to pay depends on:
- whether you're classed as a Home or International student (your fee status)
- the year your course starts.
The tuition fees on this page cover the cost of the whole course and are not quoted per academic year.
Which fees are for me?
If your course starts or started between September 2023 and August 2024, your fees are listed in the 2023/24 section.
If your course starts between September 2024 and August 2025, your fees are listed in the 2024/25 section.
Some students can pay their tuition fees in instalments.
Please note: Some fees for some specific courses may differ from the ones listed here. It's important to check the details of your course as well as this page to make sure you have the right information.
