Different Tuition Fees

If you undertake a placement year the fee you pay will depend on the type of placement you do.

Placements and Study Abroad

The fees listed below apply to 2019 and 2020 entrants*.

  • £1,385** – students studying for a full year overseas or on an ERASMUS work placement that is fully assessed and contributes to the final degree classification, replacing a year of study in Newcastle  
  • £1,850** – students on a non-ERASMUS industrial placement year that is fully assessed and contributes to the final degree classification, replacing a year of study in Newcastle
  • £1,385** – students on a work placement or study abroad year that is additional to the standard duration of the degree and, if assessed, the assessment does not contribute to the final degree classification

* Fees apply to students starting a course in 2019 or 2020 and therefore undertaking placement or study abroad opportunities in 2021-22 or 2022-23.
** The fee charged will include any inflationary increases in the intervening years.

Please note: if you are on a four-year degree and choose to take an additional year abroad or on placement, this extra year may affect your access to funding from Student Finance England.

Important information update

Regardless of the outcome of Brexit we are committed to the Erasmus+ scheme.

As a University, we are offering a guarantee to provide funding for exchanges during 2019-20, in case there are issues with the UK Government underwriting this in the event of a no deal. We believe that this will minimise disruption to our exchange programmes and ensure that our students do not run into financial difficulties while they are abroad.
