Tuition fees cover the cost of your teaching, assessment and operating University facilities such as the library, IT equipment and other support services. Accommodation and living costs are not included in our fees.

However, over and above this you may incur extra costs associated with your studies, which you will need to plan for.
In order to help you budget, the information below indicates what activities and materials are not covered by your tuition fees
- personal laptops and other personal devices
- personal copies of books
- optional study visits and field trips (and any associated visa costs)
- printing costs

The Government has confirmed that EU students applying for places at universities in England in the 2020/21 academic year will be eligible for student loans and grants throughout their degree programmes.
The decision means they will be eligible for the same funding and support available to current EU students and the University will continue to charge at the ‘home’ fee rate.
These rights will continue for the full duration of their courses, even if the UK exits the European Union during that period.
