» How much will it cost?


Tuition fees for Masters programmes and research degrees (MPhil/PhD) are not rising in the same way as undergraduate and PGCE fees.

Download the 2012-13 postgraduate tuition fees for details of the fees for each of our postgraduate programmes.

Tuition fees are quoted for the current academic year only. They're subject to annual review, and generally increase by between 3% and 5% each year. To qualify to pay the lower ‘home’ rate of tuition you must meet the conditions set out by the Department for Education.
