The total cost of a Part-time course is determined by the number of modules you take in an academic year. Modules are made up of credit-points, and Part-time fees are typically quoted as fee-per-credit-point.
To calculate the typical cost of study: Fee-per-credit-point (e.g £70.83) x credit-points per module (e.g20) = module cost of £1416.6. If you study 4 modules in a year the cost would be £5666.4 for that year.

Part-time, year one typically £28 per credit-point
The total cost of a Part-time course is determined by the number of modules you take in an academic year. Modules are made up of credit-points, and Part-time fees are typically quoted as fee-per-credit-point.
To calculate the typical cost of study: Fee-per-credit-point (e.g £28) x credit-points per module (e.g20) = module cost of £560. If you study 4 modules in a year the cost would be £2240 for that year.
