National Scholarship Programme
If your household income is less than £25,000 a year you may be able to find help through the new £150m National
Scholarship Programme. This is a scheme that is being introduced to help people from low income families wanting
to go to university in 2012. The government has set national eligibility criteria based on household income, and
each university has designed its own scholarship scheme with extra criteria.

Part-time
Part-time, year one typically £70.83 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 £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.

Fee Information
Our University's Board of Governors has agreed to set fees at £8,500 for full-time undergraduates starting in 2012.
There are no upfront fees for students. You will only start repaying tuition fees after you have graduated and once you are earning £21,000 or more. We also know that the repayments will be fixed at 9% of salary above £21,000. Therefore for someone earning £30,000 after graduation the repayment would be £67.50 per month.
