Postgraduate fees vary depending on the length of time a student wishes to take to complete their course and the type of course taken.
Postgraduate fees typically increase each year, therefore if you are studying over more than one academic year, your tuition fee in subsequent years is likely to increase.
Postgraduate Loans
A postgraduate loan is now available to help with the tuition fees and/or living costs for postgraduate study. Loans of up to £10,000 are available, which can be used to pay your tuition fees or to help support yourself while you study. You can apply for the full amount regardless of the actual tuition fee that you will be paying.
Eligibility criteria are as follows:
- You have to have commenced your Postgraduate course on or after 1 September 16;
- You have to be studying a taught or research Masters course;
- Your course can be one or two years in duration, or three years part-time where there is no full-time equivalent;
- You have to be under the age of 60 when you start your course;
- You must normally live in England.
The loans will be paid into your bank account in three instalments, so you can chose how you use it. Repayments are made in a similar way to undergraduate loans.
Further information is available on the Student Finance England website and in Student Finance England's Postgraduate Loans information leaflet (PDF).
