FEES AND FUNDING

Unless you are under 19 (under 25 for your first full level 3 qualification) on 31 August prior to the start of your course or are eligible for concessionary fees, you will normally pay your own fees. To qualify for fees at the Home/EU rate, you must satisfy requirements of the length and purpose of your residence in the European Economic Area (or Switzerland) and your immigration status. Students from outside the European Union will normally pay fees at the International rate. Our fees are reviewed each year. So, if there is more than one year to your course, the charge for the second and subsequent years is likely to be higher. All FE provision is validated by an awarding body and a registration fee is payable in addition to your tuition fees. For part-time courses a registration fee is also payable annually.
