The cost of studying varies depending on your course. Costs fall into two categories:
- costs related to your studies
- living costs
Our Financial Support team provides practical tips on how to budget during your studies.
Costs related to your studies
Tuition fees
Course fees vary depending on your area of study – please visit our fees pages for more information.
Course related costs
Depending on what course you do, there may be associated costs. For example, you might have to travel to and from a placement or buy specific books and equipment.
The academic school running your course will be able to give you a good idea of what related costs there might be.
Living costs
In addition to tuition fees, we estimate that a full-time postgraduate student will need to budget around £800 per month to cover accommodation, maintenance, recreation and other expenses.
Our Accommodation Service provides advice and information about accommodation options, and can help you to find quality housing to suit your budget.
Additionally, the NUS website has useful information on typical university-related costs to help you plan.
