Please note that fees are charged by year of entry to the College and not year of study.  The fees listed within this section are for students in the 2023-24 academic session.  To find the fee for your programme, please choose your department from the boxes below. 

The fees for all continuing taught postgraduate students will increase annually by the average percentage change in the CPI from the April of the preceding year to the March of the calendar year in which the session commences unless otherwise indicated, this includes students returning from an interruption of studies.  Due to the exceptional inflationary pressure currently being faced by the United Kingdom, the College has reduced the maximum inflationary increase for 2023-24 from 10.0% to 8.0% rounded to the nearest £50.00.  Continuing student fees are also capped at the new-entrant fee for that session and so may increase by less than the maximum amount. 

Except where otherwise indicated, the fees for continuing or resuming students will increase annually by an amount linked to inflation as above; the fee paid for subsequent years of study may be higher than the fee listed here. 

All students are bound by the College’s Tuition Fee Policy which is available here.  If you have any questions regarding tuition fees, please search our FAQs on the College Knowledge Bank (ServiceNow, College log on required), if you still have questions after this, you can raise a ticket with us via ServiceNow or via the contact links at the top of this page if you do not have a College IT account.
