Placement years/years abroad including European exchange placements

For most of our degrees with placement years including full-year Erasmus placements, you will pay just £1,000 fee for that year, because we provide an £8,000 fee discount.

Some of our four-year Masters’ degrees include a placement year (either in industry or at a university abroad) which counts as a fully-assessed part of the degree programme. Students studying on these degrees will be awarded a Placement Scholarship (as a fee discount).

See specific fees information per degree using our A-Z list of degrees.

Deferred entry students

If you are a deferred entry student, you will be liable for the tuition fee (and eligible for the scholarship schemes) applicable for the year in which you start university.

If you entered the university in 2011 or earlier and take a leave of absence, or other break, which will delay your return to study until post-2012, see Student Fees Exceptions to find out how the fees and funding changes will impact you.
