Tuition Fees 2012 Entry

This information applies to UK and EU students only. We have specific tuition fee information for international (non-EU) students.

Newcastle University will be charging a tuition fee of £9,000 per year for new undergraduates who start University in September 2012.

  • You will not have to pay any tuition fees upfront or while you are studying
  • Student loans are available for eligible* students from England, Northern Ireland, Wales or the EU – you only start to pay the loan back after you have graduated and are in employment and earning over £21,000. Government financial support arrangements for students from Scotland studying at English universities have not yet been confirmed
  • Some of our courses do have different fee levels. See specific fees information per degree using our A-Z list of degrees
  • Students who wish to study for a qualification that is at an equivalent level to, or lower level than, one that they have already been awarded may be liable to pay a higher rate of tuition fee

* Eligibility will depend on factors including where you live, the course you choose to study, where you study, and whether or not you already hold a higher education qualification. (Source: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.)

Other course costs

For some degrees, you may need to allow for extra costs to cover elements of your course such as projects, expeditions, periods of study abroad, field trips, essential equipment and instruments, drawing materials, printing and other resources.

Living costs

You will need to allow around £7,500 a year to cover your living costs (accommodation, utility bills, food, clothing, transport, entertainment and insurance). This figure is for guidance only and will depend on your own personal spending patterns and money managing skills. See our guide to living costs.

Withholding of degree certificates for non-payment of fees

The University will withhold degree certification if tuition fees have not been paid. Please see University General Regulations (PDF: 63KB).
