Please contact your department for the actual fees. The above fees are only a guide (and provisional until April 2010). you will get details of your specific fees with your offer letter.

Extra charges

  • Some science subjects require an extra fee to cover lab costs.
  • International students will pay a higher fee than UK students as the fees for UK and EU students are subsidised by the UK government.

Financial help

Postgraduate students at Leeds benefit from around £10m of funding from the University and externally. Postgraduate scholarships are available to international, UK and EU students and you may be eligible.

If you are experiencing severe hardship you could get help with your living expenses from the access to learning fund, after you have applied for all other available means of support.

When to pay

Fees must be paid in full before you can register as a postgraduate student, unless you will be paying for yourself. If you are self-supporting you can pay fees in two instalments, the first payable at registration.

If you are supported by your government, employer, or other sponsor, you should provide a letter from them addressed to the University, confirming that the fees will be paid directly. Sponsors cannot pay by instalments.
