Tuition fees are billed per module. Admitted students will be required to submit a £1,000 deposit to reserve a place on the programme. Registration deposits will be applied as a credit toward the first term’s tuition fees once the student registers on the programme.
Please note the cost of tuition fees does not include out-of-pocket expenses such as books, additional course materials or other fees.
If you are studying on a programme of more than one year’s duration, tuition fees are reviewed annually and are not fixed for the duration of your studies. Read more about fees in subsequent years.
