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 can access all the essential course books through our libraries and there is usually no need to purchase your own copies. Should you wish to do so, these vary in cost but would be around £30-£80 per book depending upon whether you buy new or pre-owned, paper or electronic.
- Printing – There is little need to print as coursework is submitted online and teaching materials provided electronically. If you do wish to print, black and white printing costs 4p per side.
- Trips – The department covers the travel cost of compulsory field trips.
- PPE – This course does not require PPE items to be bought. Workshop PPE is provided to you in the first year for the duration of your course. Any other essential requirements are met with no cost involved.
- Industrial year - Any costs associated with your industrial placement year, including travel or accommodation will need to be factored in as they are not covered by your fees.
- Summer work placement - If you do a work placement, any costs associated with travel or accommodation will need to be factored in as they are not covered by your fees.
- Design Materials – Materials for use in design projects are supplied.
- PC device – Although there are PCs available for your use on campus, you will need to purchase your own device. Read more about our recommended specifications.
- Calculator - While the calculator you used for your former study is usually sufficient some students will choose to purchase a new calculator which will cost around £10.
Please note that these figures are approximate and subject to change.
There may also be costs issued by the university for replacement student ID cards, additional transcripts or certification letters, reassessments and library fines.
