Other costs

All students are expected to provide their own stationery for taking notes. You will also be charged for photocopying and for replacing a lost student ID badge.

Additional costs relating specifically to your course - such as specialist equipment, study materials, or workwear, are specified on each course page under 'Key Information'.

You can discuss the detail of these either with our Student Support Team or a tutor. It may be possible to access additional non-repayable funding to help you pay for these items.

 

Tuition Fees for 2024/25

3-year full-time undergraduate courses

Our tuition fees for full-time undergraduate courses offer great value for money.

Starting September 2024 - Tuition fees for undergraduate courses are £9,000 per year.
 

Part-time, or part of an undergraduate qualification

Students studying part-time degree courses, or part of a higher education qualification (for example, a proportion of the modules), will be charged on a pro-rata basis.

Therefore students undertaking a standard higher education course on a part-time basis must pay in full the equivalent part-time annual tuition fee. It may however be possible to pay the fee in instalments rather than the full cost upfront.

Starting September 2024 - Tuition fees for BEng Hons Degrees (Part-time) are £6,000 and for HNCs (Part-time) are £3,500.
 

Higher National Certificate (HNC), Higher National Diploma (HND) and Certificate of Higher Education (Cert HE)

Starting September 2024 - Tuition fees for HNC and HND programmes are £7,000 and Cert HE programmes are £9,000.

HNCs and HNDs may be studied over multiple years - so payment can be staggered.

For autumn starts running over 2 full academic years, payment is 50% per year at the start of each year.

For HNCs starting in January/February that run over 3 academic years, payment is 50% per year for the first 2 years - and nothing in year 3.
 

Funding between programmes (e.g. from HNC to HND, from Cert HE to Yr 2 of a Foundation Degree, from Foundation Degree to Topup Degree)

It should be noted that financial support and exemptions are only applicable whilst enrolled on a programme of study.

For example, you will not be able to apply for childcare support from Student Finance, or Council Tax exemptions, for the period between the course end date and the next course start date.
