Tuition fees

Undertaking a postgraduate course is a serious commitment and involves careful financial planning at the time of application and for the duration of the course. Prices will almost inevitably rise and you must allow for this when planning your finances. Your costs will comprise tuition fees and living costs.

The full schedule of tuition fees can be found on our Tuition fees page.

Tuition fees are the annual charges payable to the College by all full or part-time students. They are in respect of tuition, the use of College facilities and examinations. The tuition fees do not cover living expenses or the costs of field courses, books or stationery.

If you are in receipt of an award from the British Council, a Government agency or a private sponsor, your sponsor will usually pay your tuition fees direct to the College. If you or a member of your family is paying for the costs of your study, you will be required to make arrangements for the payment of your tuition fees as a condition of enrolment.

Tuition fees are reviewed annually, usually in March/April of the previous session. For the purposes of your financial planning, you should note that tuition fees increase each year.

For more information please contact the Admissions and Recruitment Office.

Please note that the level of tuition fees is reviewed annually.

If you are in doubt as to whether you will be classed as an overseas or home student please consult the Admissions and Recruitment Office, at Mile End or Medical School as appropriate, at an early stage. No additional charges are made for registration, examinations, or membership of the Students' Union. Additional costs will be incurred, however, in the following cases:

• Students attending field or language courses away from the College will be required to pay part or all of the cost
• Examination re-entry fees are charged to students who are not in attendance
• Research students taking longer than twelve months after finishing their research to write up their thesis will become liable to pay a writing-up fee equivalent to the relevant part-time fee.

The Research Councils and many other funding bodies pay fees direct to the College. Students who are not sponsored by public bodies, either in this country or abroad, are required to pay their fees either before or at the time of enrolment at the beginning of the session.

Living costs

The cost of living in London obviously depends on the lifestyle you choose to live. Typically, however, postgraduates need about £8,500 to cover food, accommodation, travel, books etc for a full year (52 weeks), to which should be added about £2,000 for each dependant. Please note that while the College will offer advice to students who encounter financial difficulties, it is not able to provide financial support to individual students.

Funding your study

Unfortunately there are no mandatory awards for postgraduate study, and alternative funding sources are limited. Consequently it is vital that you consider how you will pay your fees and maintain yourself at an early stage in the application process. For possible funding sources for postgraduate students, please refer to studentships information.
