The total tuition fee for an online postgraduate course is £9,750.

You’ll need to make a pre-payment based on one month’s tuition to accept your unconditional offer, before we can enrol you on your course. You’ll need to pay at least £500, and no more than £900, and this amount is part of your total tuition fee, not an additional cost.

If you're a UK student, you can apply for a Master’s loan to cover your tuition fees. If you apply for a Master’s loan, you’ll receive your first instalment after you start your course, so it’s your responsibility to make your tuition fee pre-payment.

Your pre-payment must be completed at least 7 days before your chosen start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available intake.

Students from England can apply for a postgraduate Master's Loan. You’ll receive your loan directly to your bank account in instalments over the course of your studies, and you can use it to cover your tuition fees and to contribute to living costs.

Once you've applied for a Master's Loan, the review process can take up to 6-8 weeks. We recommend giving yourself at least 6-8 weeks between submitting your student loan application and your chosen start date, allowing you to focus on your studies without any unnecessary delays.

The Student Loans Company (SLC) will pay your loan directly to you after you’ve started your course, not before. This means you’ll need to cover your tuition fee pre-payment yourself, as this payment is required before your start date to accept your unconditional offer.

Postgraduate loans are also available for students from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Yes, we offer the Walbrook Scholarship, providing a £1,200 reduction in study fees for eligible students. There are a limited number of Walbrook Scholarships available each month so we encourage you to apply early to increase your chances of being awarded the scholarship.

To be eligible to apply for our Walbrook Scholarship you must:

• have applied to study one of our online degrees.

• have a household net income of less than £3,500/month.

You can apply for a Walbrook Scholarship once you’ve applied for your course. Our Study Advisors will review your application and let you know if you’ve been approved for a scholarship.

If you're not granted the scholarship, you'll have the option to proceed with your application or to cancel your application with us without any charges.

All you need is a reasonably up-to-date computer – desktop or laptop – with a stable internet connection and a webcam.

Other internet-capable devices, such as tablets or smartphones, will also be useful.
