Additional costs
All students will need at least one device to approve security access requests via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). We also recommend students have a suitable laptop to work both on and off-campus. For more information, please check the equipment advice.
As a student on this course, you should factor some additional costs into your budget, alongside your tuition fees and living expenses.
Books
You should be able to access most of the books you will need through our libraries, though you may wish to purchase your own copies.
Printing
Due to our commitment to sustainability, we do not print lecture notes, but these are available digitally.
Study abroad
If you study abroad, you need to consider the travel and living costs associated with your country of choice. This may include visa costs and medical insurance.
Equipment
To support your studies, the university recommends you have a suitable laptop to work on when on or off campus. If you already have a device, it is unlikely you will need a new one in the short term. If you are looking into buying a new device, we recommend you buy a Windows laptop, as it is more flexible and many software packages you will need are only compatible with Windows. Other equipment will include an examination approved calculator and a molecular modelling kit (optional).
Although you will not need a powerful computer, it is wise to choose one that will last. The University has prepared a set of recommended specifications to help you choose a suitable laptop.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties and you are struggling to manage your costs, the Hardship Funds may be able to assist you.
