Tuition fees and scholarships

You must have appropriate insurance cover during your studies at the International Study Centre. 

We can add Uniplan Insurance to the cost of your tuition fees. Uniplan is designed for international students who are living and studying in the UK. Cover includes lost personal items, travel, health and medical claims. See your offer letter for more details. 

If you’d prefer to arrange it yourself, you’ll need to provide proof of equivalent insurance. It must include: 

• cover for the full duration of your pathway or English language preparation programme 

• at least £2 million medical and repatriation cover 

• cancellation and curtailment cover for the cost of your travel and tuition fees.

You may need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge as part of your visa application. This gives you access to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).

Check how much you’ll need to pay.

You'll also need to pay an enrolment and textbook fee. Depending on your programme, a studio or lab fee may also apply.
