Financial Regulation
Cost(s) arising from undertaking a course
Enrolment on a course creates a binding agreement to follow the course, make progress and pay all fees due including fees for registration with the awarding body or the university and any surcharge fee applicable.
No adjustment of tuition fee is possible after commencing on a course.
The student is responsible for proactively understanding and providing for the costs involved.
In addition to the College Registration Fee (currently £55.00 per course or extension to the course) and the tuition fee for the course, additional costs to be arranged in advance include:
  • Surcharge fee (where applicable)
  • Living expenses (circa £7,200.00 per academic year)
  • Accommodation (circa £500.00 or more per month)
  • Fees for registration with awarding body/university
  • Examination fees
