Further Education

Fees are complicated and everyone’s circumstances are different. Fee concessions and the fee rate payable may be subject to your age, previous qualifications, the course you want to study and your right of abode in the UK.

Your individual circumstances will be reviewed during the application process and we will confirm at enrolment whether you are entitled to a fee concession or whether fees are payable. For further information please contact our Financial Support team on 01924 789549/283.

Course Fees

Where courses are for more than one year, the fee that we publish is for the full duration of the course, unless otherwise stated.  Higher Education courses are charged annually.

Some of our courses are not subsidised by our funding bodies. Therefore, you must pay the fee as published in the prospectus, regardless of your age or circumstances.

Please note: This information is updated regularly, but we cannot guarantee that the detail will remain accurate, as Government policy often requires changes to how we operate. Applicants receiving an offer of a place will be sent further updated information.
