Tuition fees 2012

Tuition fees for 2012 entry

Fees for Home/EU students

The University of Exeter will be charging a tuition fee of £9,000 a year for Home/EU undergraduates starting programmes from 2012. This figure may be subject to small increments set by the Government each year.

We have decided to set these fees to better enable us to direct resources at widening participation, fair access and improving our offer to students. They reflect the outstanding education we provide as one the UK’s leading universities and our continuing commitment to invest in a superb student experience, excellent teaching and learning facilities, high quality academic staff and expanding careers support and links with industry. 

Do I have to pay upfront, and what will the repayments be like?

You will not have to pay for the cost of your tuition up front. You can take out a tuition loan which you don’t have to start repaying until you are earning more than £21,000 a year. Repayment rates on loans will be at 9% of salary over £21,000. The government will meet the cost of writing off any remaining debt after 30 years.

Can I get assistance paying for the fees?

At the University of Exeter we are committed to attracting and supporting the most talented students to the University, irrespective of your financial background. As part of these new arrangements, we will be offering financial assistance in the form of reduced fees and bursaries to encourage more applications from less well off students. We also provide expert financial advice and guidance to offer the best practical help and support possible to ensure you are able to make the most of your time at Exeter.
