International students are expected to have sufficient funds to maintain themselves and pay their tuition fees in line with the Home Office Tier 4 policy requirements. Student fees and financial support for international students differ considerably from that offered to students defined as Home. It is important to determine whether or not you are classed as a Home or international student.
For further enquiries regarding fees, contact our International Office.

Possible fee changes
The University reserves the right to increase its fees in line with changes to legislation, regulation and any government guidance or decisions.
The fees for international students are reviewed annually and the University reserves the right to increase the tuition fees in line with the RPIX measure of inflation up to 4 per cent.
Field trips
Some courses include compulsory field trips or residential visits and the cost of these is added to your total tuition fee. In addition, some optional units include field trips or residentials for which you will be asked to pay separately.
International student status
Tuition fees and the range of financial support available will differ depending on whether you are defined as Home (usually resident in the UK), European Union (EU) or Overseas (International) student. Help with understanding your assessment can be found on the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) website.
Additional information and advice about fees and funding for refugees and asylum seekers who are academics is provided by CARA, the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics.

How to pay
Paying your deposit and fees
Once you have received your offer letter, you will need a CAS number to be able to apply for your visa. Before your CAS number is issued, you will need to make a deposit payment which is 50% of your tuition fees to the University.
