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.

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.
