The additional costs cover essential items you will need for the course such as:
Health and safety equipment
Compulsory branded and named protective clothing and equipment including:
- boiler suit

Extra mural studies (EMS)
Undertaking EMS also incurs extra costs, but these are dependent on the location of your chosen placements in terms of travel and accommodation.
Students choose the location of EMS, so you might be able to undertake most of your EMS from your home - helping reduce these additional costs.

In addition, extra costs will be incurred in your final year placements.
Accommodation is provided at some rotations but there will be extra travel costs.
The school currently provides a travel allowance to help towards these costs which are paid directly into your bank account, to assist with these costs.
