Masters courses fees and funding
Post graduate taught courses students are responsible for arranging their own funding to cover fees and living expenses.
We recommend that you apply early for your course, giving yourself the maximum amount of time to look for available courses. The university's tuition fees page gives you information on student fees and finance.
Tuition fee deposit
If you are successful in being offered a place, you will be required to pay a £2,000 tuition fee deposit within a specified period in order to secure your place. The tuition fee deposit is offset against the tuition fee when you register on your MSc course.
If you require a Student Visa to study in the UK this tuition fee deposit is separate and in addition to your £3,000 CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) deposit.
Funding for postgraduate students
Securing funding for postgraduate study (Masters or Doctorate) can be a complicated and competitive process. Follow the link below to investigate your funding options. It is important that when you start your course you have sufficient funds, or an achievable plan in place to obtain funds, to cover both your tuition fees and living costs.
