How much will my course cost?
Our postgraduate fees are calculated by what it costs to teach each course. Every course is divided into modules, which means courses that contain less modules have lower fees.
Each module is worth between 10 and 20 credits, with you needing to achieve 180 credits to gain the full masters award.
To make studying more cost effective, some students choose to study part-time and plan their course around their personal or working lives. If you choose to do this you will typically earn 60 credits per year.
As an example of the way tuition fees work, please see our variety of payment breakdowns below. The fees were for our UK students undertaking taught postgraduate degrees for the previous entry.
You can find course fees on the individual course pages in the course finder.

Cost of living
As well as your course fees, you’ll also need to consider the cost of living at university. Your cost of living will depend on your lifestyle and spending habits, but you could find your money goes further in Coventry than in other parts of the UK. For example, Coventry is the most affordable city in the Midlands according to the NatWest Student Living Index 2022.
Degree funding and scholarships
There are a number of funding opportunities available to students including loans, Alumni discount and scholarships.

Sponsored payments
If your fees are to be paid in part or fully by a sponsor (such as your employer), you will be required to provide at enrolment a letter or Fee Authorisation Form. In the case of a letter from your sponsor, this should be supplied on company headed paper and state the amount of support you will be receiving and the academic year it relates to. After your enrolment your sponsor will be automatically invoiced.
The Fee Authorisation Form can be picked up from the University's Finance Income team or downloaded as a PDF. This form should only be completed by registered organisations and companies, and should not be used if your fees are to be paid by family members, friends, etc., unless you are officially listed as an employee of theirs.
The completed form can be scanned and emailed to the Income Team at incenq.fin@coventry.ac.uk. Alternatively, you can submit the completed form to the Income Team in person at the Student Centre or by post to the address below:
