on-campus lectures, seminars and workshops

The number of full-time contact hours may vary from semester to semester, however, on average, it is likely to be around 16 contact hours per week in the first year dropping to below 14 contact hours per week in the second and final year as you become a more independent learner.

Additionally, you will be expected to undertake significant self-directed study of approximately 38 - 41 hours each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.

Students studying a degree with a foundation year with us are not eligible for the bursary.

How do you know if you need to pay UK or international tuition fees?

We carry out an initial fee status assessment based on the information you provide in your application. Your fee status determines your tuition fees, and what financial support and scholarships may be available to you. The rules about who pays UK (home) or international (overseas) fees for higher education courses in England are set by the government's Department for Education. The regulations identify all the different categories of student who can insist on paying the home rate. The regulations can be difficult to understand, so the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) has provided fee status guidance to help you identify whether you are eligible to pay the home or overseas rate.

If you meet all the criteria required by any one category, including any residence requirements, your institution must charge you the home rate. You only need to find one category that you fit into.
