Fees

How much will my fees be?

Mandatory requirements for your course are covered by the tuition fees. These include things such as health or criminal record checks, specialist materials and mandatory field trips.

Optional field trips, accommodation and course materials are not included in the tuition fees and you will need to pay for these yourself. Please contact the school that delivers your course about possible extra costs before you apply.

*Many of our courses include the option of a salaried placement year.

The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2021–22. Further tuition fees are payable for each subsequent year of study and are subject to an annual increase of no more than 5% or RPI (whichever is the greater). The annual increase for UK students, who are subject to regulated fees, will increase no more than the statutory maximum fee.

Further details regarding tuition fees are available from the university’s student contract and tuition fee policy (pdf).

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.

Fees for part-time students

The tuition fees for part-time undergraduate courses depend on how many modules you take in the year. A full-time undergraduate course usually has 120 credits. If you do modules worth 60 credits in a year, then you will pay 50% of the full-time fee.

Once you decide how many modules you want to take, we can help you to calculate the fees.

Paying your fees

If you have a student loan, the Student Loan Company will pay the fees to the university. However, you will need to provide us with written proof before the start of your course that you have been granted a loan.

Whether you take out a student loan or not, your tuition fees for the year must be paid to the university at the start of your course. This is your responsibility. 

You will be required to pay your fees yourself if you cannot provide written proof that your fees will be paid on your behalf by the Student Loan Company, your employer or another sponsor.

Fees for students at partner colleges

The University of Brighton validates university-level courses which are taught at our partner colleges. If you are enrolled on one of these courses, your fees and eligibility for funding will be different. 

If you are undertaking a University of Brighton course at one of our partner colleges, check their website for details of the fees you will pay.
