The amount you pay for a qualification or course will be dependent on where you live and the choices you make. Please see Fees 2012 for more information.
Unlike some other institutions, our course fees include relevant materials, tuition, assessment and any embedded residential schools. Sometimes there will be books you have to buy yourself or borrow from a local library, but we’re careful to limit the cost as far as we can.
The only extra things you may need to budget for are a computer and travel to tutorials or to residential schools. You’ll also be responsible for any telephone or internet service provider charges your suppliers may make.
We offer a flexible payment option that allows you to spread the cost of your study. See Ways to pay.
Financial support may be available
Don’t forget that financial support towards the cost of studying may also be available. See Financial support for more information.
