Please find details of the current tuition fees across our range of BA (Hons) and master’s degree courses below. Our course tuition fees are set annually and are subject to review each year. Fees may therefore be raised in the second or subsequent years of a course, in line with inflation and/or the maximum permitted by law or Government policy.
