Fees and finance for international students
International students pay different fees to students from the UK. You’re usually an international student if you’ve not lived in the UK/EU for the last 3 years. From September 2021, students from the EU will also pay international fees.
Fees status
Your tuition fee charge will depend on whether you’re classified as a student from ‘Home’ or ‘Overseas’. These classification rules are strictly determined by the UK Government.
UKCISA provides information on tuition fees to help you assess your fees status. This guide should give you a clear idea of whether you have a home or overseas student status.
If you are not sure what your fee status should be, please contact our finance team by emailing [email protected].
International tuition fees 2027/28
The cost of your tuition fee depends on the course level you choose to study.
To secure a place on a course, a deposit must be paid upon accepting an offer. If you require a Visa to study in the UK, your CAS will not be released until a deposit has been received. Once you have accepted your offer and paid your deposit, any eligible discounts will be awarded.

- A deposit, payable before enrolment: £1,000 for funded international students, or £4,000 for self-funded international students
- The remaining balance paid in 6 monthly instalments, due on the first day of each month from 1 September 2027 to 1 February 2028
