Tuition fees

Funding and financial aid

There are several funding routes available to help cover your annual tuition fees, including loans and scholarships. You can check the fees for your course on the fees and funding tab on each individual course page.

 

We understand that university is an important investment, and we're dedicated to ensuring financial concerns don't stop you enjoying your time as a student. International students can access emergency aid through the Overseas Emergency Financial Aid (OEFA) programme, where they can receive discretionary financial assistance.


Scholarships

Scholarships and bursaries can further support  the cost of university – these don’t need to be  paid back. We have invested hundreds of thousands of pounds in scholarships for high achieving and enterprising students from around the world. We look for enterprising and aspirational students who want to excel in an international university.
