* The 2025/26 annual tuition fees for UK postgraduate research courses have not yet been set by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). This is ordinarily announced in February. As a guide only for the full-time tuition fee for new and returning UK postgraduate research courses for 2024/25 is £4,786. The equivalent part-time fee for these courses is £2,393.
Tuition fees may be increased in the second and subsequent years of your course. Detailed information on possible future increases in tuition fees is contained in the Tuition Fees Increase Policy.
The University will assess your fee status as part of the application process. Your status will depend on nationality and residency. If you are uncertain about your fee status you may wish to seek advice from UKCISA before applying.
Students on research programmes of study who register as part-time should be supervised on that basis and not be allowed to finish early through working full-time on their PhD, whilst paying part-time fees. Full fees will be payable up to the maximum period of registration if early completion is achieved. Please see our Codes of Practice for Research Courses.
