How much does university cost?

The cost of studying at university depends on several factors, including your level of study (undergraduate, postgraduate taught, or postgraduate research) and whether you’re a UK or international student.

For example, the tuition fee for UK undergraduate students starting in 2026/27 is £9,790 per year. Many UK students choose to take out a Tuition Fee Loan, which usually covers the full cost of tuition, so you don’t need to pay anything upfront.

However if you're an international student, or studying a degree at a different level, the fee will be different. To find the most accurate information for you, visit the relevant pages:
