Your tuition fees cover the cost of: staff costs, assessment materials, resources during timetabled sessions and awarding body registrations fees (where applicable).

Fees and charges apply each separate academic year, so as your circumstances change, you may become liable for fees. You can query any changes with our Student Services Team.

Need help budgeting for your course tuition fees, here are some useful tips:
- Start with tracking – Tracking is crucial to creating a realistic budget because it helps you determine where your money is going. This means documenting all your transactions and income to map out your cash flow.
- Get specific – Make a budget for each month, not just one for the whole year.
- Prioritise – Look at your essentials first and then look at things you might like/want.
- Expect the unexpected – In addition to the priorities we mentioned above, it’s also a good idea to have an emergency fund on hand. This might sound obvious, but it’s important to set some money aside for unexpected expenses that could pop up.
- Nobody is perfect, give yourself a break – It’s okay to make mistakes or occasionally veer off course. With a strong budgeting plan in place, the periodic misstep shouldn’t destroy your progress.
A budget planner can also help you manage your money. Here’s how to set one up.
