Tuition fees
As an undergraduate student, you will have two main types of expenses at university – tuition fees and your living costs. The Government's funding system of grants and loans means that you can choose not to pay anything until after you have finished your degree. You need to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan (and Maintenance Loan if you want) before each year and before your course starts. To do so, you must apply on the Government website.
The cost of yearly tuition fees can be found on the relevant course pages (listed fees apply for each year of the course, subject to an annual increase).
Fees are reviewed annually and are governed by the Student Financial Policy.
For fee purposes, students are classified as either Home or Overseas. Details of the criteria used for establishing fee status can be found on the UK Council for International Student Affairs website. If you are unsure whether you are classified as Home or Overseas, please contact the Admissions Office on +44 (0) 1895 265265.
Fee refunds
Fees are due at the time of Registration and there is no entitlement to any reduction or refund if a student withdraws during the year. We may exceptionally allow reductions to self-supporting students. Please note that once you enrol, you become liable for fees, even if you subsequently withdraw. Please see the Student Financial Policy for full details.
Fee discounts and deposits
Overseas students are required to pay a non-refundable deposit, and the amount will be confirmed within the offer email. Further details regarding the deposit (including instances where a deposit may be refunded) can be found within the Admissions Policy.
All students who are responsible for paying their own course fees in full, and who pay the full amount of fees due at or before their scheduled date of registration, may receive a prompt payment discount of 2% on the net course fee.
Details of discounts for Brunel University graduates are given in the Student Financial Policy.
