Postgraduate fees and funding for 2013 entry

Please click on the expandable links below for more information.

» How much will it cost?

Please note that tuition fees are quoted for the current academic year only. They're subject to annual review and are likely to increase by approximately 3% to 5% each year. This means for a programme that is more than one year long, a similar fee (adjusted for inflation) will be charged in subsequent years. Part-time students will therefore also be charged a higher fee in the second and subsequent years of their programme. To qualify to pay the lower ‘home’ rate of tuition you must meet the conditions set out by the government. Please visitwww.ukcisa.org.uk for details.
