Changes to tuition fees from the 2026-2027 academic year for UK undergraduate students

For the 2026/27 academic year, the maximum annual tuition fee applicable to UK undergraduate students for approved providers will increase to:

  • £9,790 for standard full-time courses
  • £11,750 for full-time accelerated courses
  • £7,335 for part-time courses 

For courses with an integrated foundation year, the first-year fee is £9,790 for courses in science, engineering and creative and performing arts, and £5,760 for classroom-based courses.

Maintenance loans will also rise each year in line with inflation.  

Accordingly, these are the fees that will be charged by the University for UK undergraduate students in the 2026/27 academic year subject to parliamentary approval taking place in early 2026.

UK Government information on tuition fees for UK undergraduate students in the 2027/2028 academic year

The changes below will apply from 1 August 2027. The government intends to lay regulations implementing these changes in early 2026 and will be subject to Parliamentary procedure. Further information can be found at GOV.UK's tuition fee changes webpage.

For the 2027/28 academic year, it is anticipated that the maximum annual tuition fee applicable to UK undergraduate students for approved providers will increase to:

  • £10,050 for standard full-time courses
  • £12,060 for full-time accelerated courses
  • £7,530 for part-time courses 

This means that if you start your studies in September 2026 on a standard full-time course, you will pay an annual tuition fee of £9,790 for your first year which will then rise to £10,050 for your second year of study starting in September 2027.  

Subsequent tuition fee rises for UK undergraduate students

Depending on the duration of your study, your tuition fees for subsequent academic years beyond the 2027/28 academic year may therefore be subject to further inflationary increases by the UK government in due course. This means that the fee set out above is likely to be increased again for the 2028/29 academic year.

Any annual increase in tuition fees as provided for above will be notified to students directly in writing at the earliest opportunity in advance of the academic year to which the rise may apply.

Part-time courses

  • Part-time fees are calculated per taught credit which is currently set at £79 for UK students
  • A full undergraduate programme is made up of 360 credits and different modules carry different credit weighting
  • More information about module credits can be found on your chosen course page
  • As a part-time student, you can apply for a student loan to cover tuition fees and maintenance loans through the UK Government's Student Finance website

Additional costs

Some of our degrees involve extra costs, for items such as art supplies, protective clothing or field trips, which are not covered by your tuition fees. You can visit our course pages for details on any additional costs associated with your course of choice, to ensure you can budget effectively for your studies.

Nursing and Midwifery courses

If you're studying a pre-registration nursing or midwifery course, you will have access to the standard student support package of tuition fee loans and support for living costs plus some additional allowances from the NHS. Visit The Funding Clinic for more information on funding arrangements and what it means for you.

Funding your degree

Get funding for your degree: tuition fee loans

There are a range of funding and loan options available to ensure you are able to attend university whatever your financial background.

You can apply for a student loan to cover the cost of your tuition during your studies. This loan means that you will not have to pay fees upfront yourself and instead can repay the cost of your degree once you have graduated and are earning over a certain amount.

If this is your second undergraduate degree, at the same level or lower than what you previously studied, you may not be eligible for a student loan. Courses such as Teaching, Midwifery, Nursing and Social Work are exempt but please check the Student Finance website.

Other loans and scholarships

You can apply for a maintenance loan to help towards the cost of living expenses. This loan is means tested against your household income and must be paid back once you have graduated and are earning over a certain amount.

See what you could expect if applying for a maintenance loan

We offer a range of scholarships and awards to recognise your academic achievement and potential. Unlike a loan, you don't have to pay them back.

More employability support

If you are experiencing financial difficulties or do not have access to the necessary money for your course then you can get support through our student support fund.

  • Tel: +44 (0)20 8411 3008 between 11am - 1pm and 2pm - 4pm Monday to Friday
  • Online enquiry (use the subject Student Welfare Advice in the enquiry)
  • Make a phone appointment (remember to include your phone number)

We offer a reduction of fees to some students, including the children of Gurkhas.

Ask for information about reduction of fees

Your employer can contribute towards the cost of your studies as part of their staff development programme. If this is the case, please ask your employer to supply a letter (on formal letter-headed paper) detailing their contribution towards your fees.

You will then need to complete our Online Query form, attach the letter and add ‘Sponsorship Information’ in the Subject field.

Many banks offer career and professional development loans that can be used towards the cost of work-related learning. If this is not your first full-time degree, they can help support the cost of up to two years of learning, or three years if the period of learning includes one year's relevant unpaid work experience / placement.

Withdrawing from study

Withdrawing from a course

If you wish to leave a course before completing it, let us know through Unihub as soon as possible. How much of the annual tuition fees you will have to continue to pay is determined by where you are in the academic year when you withdraw.

International students

Fees and funding for international students can be quite different to UK students. That's why we have information specifically for our international students including cost of your degree, ways to pay and information about your deposit.
