Some postgraduate courses may include an additional charge known as a fee band. This is to cover associated costs including equipment, laboratory consumables, specialist technical support, data processing, training and travel. You will be notified at the point of offer if a fee band is applicable.
Please note that fees are quoted at the full-time/part-time rate for the academic year you’ve applied for. If you begin your study part-way through the academic year, then your first tuition fee payment will be calculated on a pro-rata basis
