This page provides a summary of the funding and fee system for international students (from outside the European Union). Please follow the links provided for more details.

What funding is available?

You should contact your local British Council offices to see what other awards may be available. The address in your country can be found by contacting your local British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate.

Living costs

Before you begin your studies, you should make sure you have adequate funds to cover your living costs for the duration of your course. As a general guide, the British Council estimates that the living expenses of an international student living outside London are likely to be around £700 per month, including basics such as accommodation, books and bills but NOT course tuition fees.

Tuition fees - how much are my fees?

For international students who started in or before 2011, your tuition fee will stay at the same rate for each year of your course, with the exception of the BM BS Medicine, whose fees will increase with inflation each year. Most courses follow the fee structure below for international students, but variations do exist.

Fee arrangements for international students studying University of Brighton validated courses at the university’s partner colleges are different. Please contact the college where you will be taught.

Tuition fees - how can I pay my fees?

Fees are payable in full at the start of the course (or by 1 November). However if you choose to pay your fees by direct debit you can pay in up to six instalments.

University of Brighton scholarships

International applicants are eligible to apply for a range of the scholarships offered by the University of Brighton.
