Postgraduate Tuition Fees
All you need to know about postgraduate tuition fees at Newcastle University.
About tuition fees
You'll find full details of expected fees on each course page. This will be detailed in the Fees and Funding section.
The fee amount reflects the cost of one year, longer courses will have additional fees. Some courses involve intensive laboratory, clinical or fieldwork so may have higher fees.
Key dates
Home students registering for an eligible taught postgraduate course with a September start date can pay for their annual tuition fees in six installments.

International students and research students need to pay half of their annual tuition fees to register at the university in September. The second half of your fees will be due in the following January.
Tuition fees are usually payable for each year of your study. If you begin your studies mid-year, you will only pay the proportion of your tuition fee due to cover the period to the end of the academic year.
If your course lasts longer than an academic year, the fee due in the following September will normally be higher than in the previous year, due to an inflationary increase.
Further fee payment information for international and research students can be found on our student welcome website.
How to pay
We want to protect you by making sure you don't take unnecessary risks with your money. Therefore we do not accept cash as payments. We offer you many other payment options by safer and more secure means.

University tuition fees are not subject to exchange control regulations for Chinese students.
International and EU students
Depending on your residency history, if you’re a student from the EU, other EEA or a Swiss national, with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you’ll normally pay the ‘Home’ tuition fee rate and may be eligible for Student Finance England support.
EU students without settled or pre-settled status will normally be charged fees at the ‘International’ rate and will not be eligible for Student Finance England support.
If you are unsure of your fee status, check out the latest guidance here.
Part-time fees for international students do not apply as your student visa requires you to study full time. There are occasional exceptions to this.
We support our EU and international students by providing a generous range of Vice-Chancellor's automatic and merit-based scholarships. See our searchable postgraduate funding page for more information.
Assessing your fee status
You may be unsure if you have home or international fee status.
The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) provides guidance on who is eligible for home fees.
