Important changes to tuition fees from 2026/27 for undergraduate students
UK Government has announced that the undergraduate tuition fee cap for home students (includes offshore) will increase every year in line with inflation.
Legislation still needs to be passed for this increase to happen, so the current fees within our undergraduate course listing 2026/27 are likely to increase should legislation be passed. Any tuition fee that is impacted by this change will be updated following government approval.
This change will affect new and continuing full and part-time students who are charged home fees.
See this blog post from the Department for Education for further information: Everything you need to know about the new higher education reforms.

Please check the undergraduate course page for up-to-date fee information.
Postgraduate study
Fees vary from course to course, so please check the individual course page for accurate fee information.
Part-time study
Tuition fees for part-time study are charged a pro-rata amount of the full-time equivalent. International students are not usually able to study part-time due to the immigration restrictions of the Tier 4 student visa.
Holders of higher education qualifications
If you are classed as a UK or EU student and already hold a higher education qualification, you will be charged the same fee as UK or EU students without HE qualifications but you may not be eligible for fees and living cost support.

Determining your fee statusOther costs to consider
Indicative additional costs
Any additional costs given per course are what you could expect to incur during your studies – and are for items not covered by the standard tuition fee. These could be for materials, textbooks, travel, clothing, software or printing.
Living costs
If you’re living away from home while you study, there are plenty of extra costs you need to cover – including accommodation, travel, bills and food. We’ve estimated that you’ll need to set aside between £14,000–£15,000 per academic year as a single student, based on mid-range accommodation costs. This doesn't include tuition fees or unexpected costs.
