Fees and Expenses:

in accordance with University regulations, all students become liable for payment of the full tuition fee on registration.
Some UK students (e.g. many Scottish-domiciled undergraduate students) will have their tuition fee paid on their behalf by an awards agency but it is important that such students make a prompt application to the relevant authority for fee support (see below). Please also note that applications for fee support from award agencies must be made every year - awards are not renewed automatically. In most cases, this application process will also allow undergraduate students to apply for a student loan if this is required.

New undergraduate students from England, Wales or Northern Ireland will be liable to a tuition fee of £1,775 per annum. These students may take out a loan to cover this fee, in addition to any student loan they may take out to cover living costs. Students in this position normally apply for support through their Local Authority (LA) or (in Northern Ireland) the Library Board.

Scottish-domiciled undergraduate students who are liable to meet their own fees will be liable to pay £1,255 per annum instead of £1,775, but should apply to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland for the £520 differential to be paid on their behalf.
(Students unsure of their status in terms of tuition fee support can seek advice from several sources - please see the end of this note for details).
