Postgraduate fees

Standard full-time postgraduate fees (academic year 2013-2014)

The majority of tuition fees for postgraduate programmes follow the structure below, however many fees are non-standard so you will need to consult the programme description found within the subject listings to confirm. If you are unsure if you will pay UK/EU or international fees, our fee status page provides further details. It is expected that tuition fees will, in future years, rise by a modest amount to take account of inflationary pressures for subsequent years.

Taught Masters degrees

The fee stated for a full-time Masters will usually be the total fee for a one-year programme. Fees for part-time and modular programmes (where available) are pro-rata. For programmes that are studied part-time or for which the duration is more than one year, you should expect a modest fee increase in subsequent years.

Please note, if you receive an offer of a place on a full-time taught postgraduate programme or the part-time MA Western Esotericism, you will need to pay a tuition fee deposit to confirm your place. Full information on tuition fee deposits can be found on our Once you have an offer pages.

Research degrees

The fees listed represent tuition fees for the majority of research degree students. You may be permitted to transfer to continuation status, benefitting from reduced fees, when at the 'writing up' stage of a PhD thesis. The continuation fee rate applies until submission of your thesis for examination. Continuation fee rates for future years have yet to be agreed, however you can view current continuation fee rates on the student fees webpages.

Living costs

In addition to your programme fee, you will also need to consider how you will fund your living expenses. We recommend that you budget £800 per month for living costs in addition to your programme fee.
