Tuition Fees and Finance
Students who complete a full year abroad pay a reduced tuition fee rate to Newcastle University.
If you are completing a study exchange, you will not have to pay tuition fees to the host institution. This is due to the reciprocal nature of our exchange agreements.
You can still apply for your normal student loan or bursary for the time you spend abroad. You may also be able to claim money back on travel and other costs related to your placement through Student Finance England’s Travel Grant. Visit our Student Financial Support page to find out more.
