Tuition Fees and Costs

Our undergraduate tuition fees for new UK students entering Newcastle University in 2019 or 2020 will be £9,250.
The maximum fee that we are permitted to charge for UK students is set by the UK government. As a general principle, you should expect the tuition fee to increase in each subsequent academic year of your course, subject to government regulations on fee increases and in line with inflation.
You may be eligible to apply for a tuition fee loan and if you are accepted, you will not have to pay any tuition fees up-front or while you are studying.
Please note that some of our degrees involve additional costs which are not covered by your tuition fee.

The University will withhold your degree certificate if you have not paid your tuition fees. We explain this policy in the University General Regulations (PDF: 322KB).
We want to protect you by making sure you don't take unnecessary risks with your money.
To ensure your safety in paying your tuition fees, we will no longer accept cash payments from the 2020/21 academic year.
We offer you many other payment options by safer and more secure means.

UK and EU students will need to allow around £9,500-£10,500 a year for living costs. This figure is for guidance only. It will depend on your own personal spending patterns and how you manage your money.
We aim to minimise additional costs to students but some of our degrees involve costs that tuition fees do not cover. To make sure that you budget accurately for university life, check if your degree requires any additional course costs.
How Brexit impacts tuition fees
Our international community, representing many countries from the EU and further afield, is a vital part of who we are as a University. We are absolutely committed to our international students, international mobility and international collaborations, and this will remain a core part of what our academic life at Newcastle is about.
Amid the continued uncertainty surrounding the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, we understand our students – whether from the UK, other EU countries or outside the EU – will have questions. Particularly regarding the cost of tuition fees for EU students.
In the event of a withdrawal agreement
In the event of a withdrawal agreement, the UK government has confirmed that EU students who meet eligibility requirements and who begin their degrees in or before the academic year 2019-20 will still be eligible for home student fees and financial support and that nothing will change for them throughout their full degree.
In the event of a no deal
The Department of Education has further confirmed that this commitment would be honoured for students at English universities even in the event of a no deal.
