Academic Fees for new Research Students

The cost of a postgraduate degree varies by programme and there may also be bench fees. International students* will pay a higher fee than UK students as the fees for UK and EU students are subsidised by the UK government. The standard fees for postgraduate courses are listed in the documents below:
Research Degree Fees for New Students commencing study during academic year 2011/12
Research Degree Fees for New International Students commencing study during academic year 2012/13
(Research Degree Fees for New UK/EU students commencing study during 2012/13 will follow when set)

Academic Fees for returning Research Students

Since September 2008 international postgraduate research students starting programmes of more than one year will pay the same fixed fee for each year of their programme. This is designed to help students and families plan finances for the full length of the programme.
