Tuition fees

Fee status classification

An applicant's fee status is assessed in accordance withÌýguidelines provided by theÌý.

We advise candidates to refer to the guidance available on theÌý

Home/UK students

The tuition fee for new UK students starting a course in September 2022ÌýisÌý£9,250Ìýfor academic yearÌý2022/23.Ìý

The fee may rise with inflation in the subsequent years of study.

EU students

TheÌýÌýthat students from the EU, other EEA countries and/or Switzerland starting a course on or after 1 August 2022Ìýwill be charged the Overseas fee.

It is our understanding that this does not apply to Irish students or students benefitting from Citizens’ Rights under the EU Withdrawal Agreement, EEA EFTA Separation Agreement or Swiss Citizens’ Rights Agreement respectively.

We anticipate thatÌýstudents who have been granted settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme will generally be eligible for home fee status if they have been ordinarily resident in the UK and Islands for at least 3 years.Ìý
Students with pre-settled status and 3 years’ residence in the UK, Gibraltar, EEA, Switzerland or the British/EU overseas territories (unless that residence was wholly or mainly for the purpose of education) are also likely to qualify for home fee status.Ìý

Please refer to theÌýÌýandÌý.Ìý



Guidance and advice on fee status assessment is available from theÌý

Overseas students

The tuition fee for Overseas students will vary between institutions and the course studied. Please visit our individual institution tuition fee webpages for more information:

Financial Support

Living Support

We suggest that students budget £1,100-£1,300 a month to cover living costs, including accommodation. We recommend that students start thinking about budgeting before starting their degree programme. There are lots of online tools and resources available to help students plan a budget and think about managing their money, as well as advice on our individual institution websites. The following may be helpful:

GovernmentÌýSupport

Home/UK students

The Maintenance Loan is designed to support full-time students living in England with the cost of living.ÌýStudents can apply for a maintenance loan via the funding authority,Ìý.

The maintenance loan amount will vary depending on where the student lives, studies and their household income.Ìý

A proportion of the maintenance loan is available to all eligible students, regardless of their financial situation, referred to as a 'guaranteed loan'. The remaining amount is means-tested, determined by household income. The maximum loan amount for students living away from home in London inÌý2022-23ÌýisÌý£12,667.

The arrangements are different for students living in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales:

  • Students living in Northern Ireland:
  • Students living in Scotland:
  • Students living in Wales:

EU and overseas students

Overseas students, i.e. those from outside the UK, are not generally eligible for a maintenance loan.Ìý

However, funding may be available for overseas students from external agencies, bodies or their home government. Visit theÌýÌýandÌýÌýwebsites for more information.

Students who have been granted settled status under the EUSS will generally be eligible for maintenance support if they have been ordinarily resident in the UK and Islands for at least 3 years.ÌýThe SLC will award tuition fee and maintenance support to EEA and Swiss workers, and their family members, where the student has pre-settled status and 3 years’ residency in the UK, Gibraltar, EEA and Switzerland. They will also ask for financial evidence to confirm applicants are working, have worked or are looking for work, for example, P60 or a letter from an employer. Please see theÌýtheÌýÌýandÌýÌýThese arrangements have not yet been confirmed. The UK government are expected to publish Regulations in early 2021.Ìý

Institution specific financial support

All five of our institutions offer generous financial support packages, including bursaries and scholarships, to support undergraduate students studying at our universities. Financial support is available to UK and Overseas (including EU/EEA) students.Ìý

The eligibility criteria, award value and application processes will vary.

Please visit our individual institution pages for more detailed information:
