Every undergraduate student is charged a fee each year of their programme.
The fee covers registration and examination fees payable to the School, lectures, classes and individual supervision, lectures given at other colleges under intercollegiate arrangements and, under current arrangements, membership of the Students' Union. It does not cover living costs or travel or fieldwork.
Fees are fixed each spring for the following session only, and will be published in the Table of Fees.
All queries regarding your fees and fee payments are dealt with by the Fees Office.
Fee status classification
On receipt of your UCAS form the School carries out an assessment of your fee status determining the amount you are likely to pay at Registration. This decision is based on guidelines provided by the Department of Education: Education (Fees and Awards) Regulations 2007.
