Information on fees and funding for postgraduate students.

Costs of postgraduate study

Annual costs include a tuition fee, additional programme costs and living expenses. The tuition fee differs between Home/EU and Overseas students, so you should carefully check your fee status. Additional programme costs (sometimes called bench fees or research costs) cover facilities such as basic consumables, equipment purchase, hire and maintenance, computing hardware and software. Tuition fees and additional programme costs are payable for each year of active study, typically one year for MSc, two years for MPhil and three years for PhD.
