Fees and costs
The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2012-13. Further tuition fees are payable for each subsequent year of study and may be subject to small increases, in line with inflation.
The tuition fee you have to pay depends on a number of factors including the kind of course you take, and whether you study full- or part-time. If you are studying part-time you will normally be charged on a pro rata basis depending on the number of modules you take.
What's included in the fee?
When costs such as health or criminal record checks, field trips or use of specialist materials are incurred as a mandatory requirement of the course they are included in your tuition fee.
You may incur additional costs depending on the optional modules or activities you choose. The cost of optional activities is not included in your tuition fee and you will need to meet this cost in addition to your fees. Before you apply please check with the school that provides your course using the contact details on the left of this page for advice about what is included and what optional costs you could face so you can budget accordingly.
Our website www.brighton.ac.uk/money provides advice about funding and scholarships as well as further information about fees and advice on international and island fee paying status.

Roxana Cavalcanti, Criminology MA Graduate 2012
I started my Criminology MA in September 2010, graduating in July 2012. Prior to this, I also completed my undergraduate studies in the School of Applied Social Science at the University of Brighton from 2007-2010.
I have been awarded a Kings College scholarship, so in October I will start an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded PhD at Kings College, studying human rights, violence and gangs in Brazil.
The best aspect of the course is certainly the staff. The university facilities and modules were excellent, especially the module entitled Violence, Culture and Society. However, the staff who deliver the criminology course are outstanding, they are passionate about the topics they teach, well informed, approachable, friendly, and teaching is delivered at a very high standard.
I was very fortunate to have worked at the University of Brighton during my masters on a research project with a group of very senior academics, including two exceptional criminologists – Professor Peter Squires and Professor John Lea. This was probably the most useful and remarkable experience I will take away from the last two years.
After my PhD I hope to work in the fields of social justice and positive social change.
