Fees and finance

The annual fee is:

£11,500 if you are from the UK or EU; if you are a University of Sunderland graduate, you will receive a £1,500 alumni discount on your tuition fee.
£14,000 if you are an international student; all international students applying in 2020 are eligible for a £1,500 scholarship

Additional tuition fee discount for international students: All courses require you to pay 50% of the total tuition fee as a deposit. However, if you pay 100% of your tuition fee prior to CAS issuance, you will receive an extra £1,000 discount on your tuition fee. This would reduce the total annual cost of this course to £11,500.

If you do not wish to pay all of your tuition fees at once, you can choose to pay the remaining 50% up to three months after the start date. If you decide to pay in this way, you will not receive any extra discount, and the total annual cost of this course will be £11,500.

If you are a University of Sunderland graduate, you will receive a £1,000 alumni discount on your tuition fee.
