Masters tuition fees
Fees are listed in each programme entry. They are confirmed in the Autumn for students starting in the following academic year and are subject to change each year. If you receive an offer of a place on a full-time taught postgraduate programme you will need to pay a tuition fee deposit to confirm your place.
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.
Fee status
Students at the University of Exeter are classified as either Home or International for tuition fee purposes. Your fee status determines the tuition fees you pay for your course. Visit our tuition fee status webpage to find out more about your fee status and how it is assessed.
Other course costs
In addition to tuition fees and living costs, your programme of study may have other costs associated with it, such as laboratory equipment or field trips.

When you're studying for a Masters your tuition fee is only one part of the cost of doing a postgraduate degree: you also have to consider accommodation and living costs.
Accommodation costs
Accommodation costs will vary depending on whether you live in private or University-owned accommodation. More details regarding accommodation, including costs, are available on our accommodation page.
Living costs
The National Union of Students estimates student living costs, including accommodation, to be approximately £12,000 per year outside London.
Living costs are, to some extent, up to you. You will need to make choices about how you live and what your priorities are, but make sure you factor in:
- food and toiletries
- clothes and laundry
- mobile / telephone / internet charges
- Visa fees (for international students)
- Council Tax (part-time students are eligible to pay)
- travel costs, particularly if you want to visit home in vacations
- books and other course materials
- leisure, sport and entertainment
- sundries, such as haircuts, prescriptions etc
