Tuition fees

The fees for each postgraduate course will vary depending upon the duration of the course, whether it's based in a lab or not, and the level of the course. Please see individual course pages for the current fees for each of our postgraduate courses.

Campus-based courses

Each course page gives the fee for the current or next academic year. For students starting during or before the 2021/22 academic year there is one fee for UK/EU students and another for ‘international students (ie students from outside the EU)’. From September 2022 onwards there will be one fee for UK students and another for international students, so all new EU Students will pay international fees unless they meet specific residence criteria to pay home fees. Where you can apply for a Postgraduate Diploma and/or Certificate separately, that may cost less than the full degree, or may have the same fee.

Field trips and other 'extras' may be included in the fee or may incur an additional fee - please see the course page or contact the appropriate department.

For degrees 'With Industry' there is an additional cost for the industrial placement. You will not have to pay this if, for whatever reason, you do not take up a placement and continue on the regular degree.

If you did your undergraduate degree at the University of Leicester you will be entitled to a 20% discount  on postgraduate fees with us. There is also a range of postgraduate scholarships in specific disciplines.
