If you’re not applying for a fully funded degree, then you’ll need to be sure you are able to pay the fees for your chosen degree or have secured funding to cover those fees.
Fees are payable in advance at the start of every year of study and you’ll need to pay fees for each year or part year of your standard period of study. If you submit your thesis after the standard period of study, then you will need to pay ‘writing up fees’ for each additional year until submission. Annual fees apply to both PhD and MRes.
The University sets the tuition fees in line with those set by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) minimum fee rate. The UKRI rate for 2027/8 has not yet been published. In 2026/7 this fee was £5,238. Once the UKRI rate has been published for 2027/8 we shall update this information and inform offer holders.
Further information on how to pay your fees can be found here.
