Fees are complicated and everyone’s circumstances are different. Fee concessions and the fee rate payable may be subject to your age. previous qualifications, the course you want to study and your residency status in the UK.

Your individual circumstances will be reviewed during the enrolment process and any fees you will have to pay will be confirmed. The information below is intended to give general guidance and is not exhaustive. For further information please contact our Financial Support team on 01924 789549/283.

Course Fees

Where courses are for more than one year, the fee that we publish is for the full duration of the course unless it is for a HE course which are charged annually, or otherwise stated.

Some of our courses are not subsidised by our funding bodies; therefore you must pay the fee as published in the prospectus for these courses, regardless of your age or circumstances.

Please note: This information is updated regularly, but we cannot guarantee that the detail will remain accurate, as Government policy often requires changes to how we operate. Applicants receiving an offer of a place will be sent further updated information.

Bursary Information
The funding the College has to help you with the cost of studying comes from a government fund and is public money. The assistance you receive is a discretionary award. It will always be conditional on your attendance at college. Whilst we recognise that students face financial pressures, the funding you are applying for is not a right and the College has a duty to make sure that the funds are awarded fairly and to the students most in need. We allocate our funding on a first come first served basis, however this does not apply if you qualify for the Vulnerable Bursary.
