Tuition Fees

Tuition fees help cover the costs of university, such as salaries of teaching staff and also the cost of the equipment and facilities that you will use during your studies. To work out the approximate cost of your studies, you should multiply the tuition fee amount by the number of years that you will be studying.

2011 UK/EU Fees information

If you are a full-time UK/EU student then you will not have to pay your tuition fees up front or during your studies. You will need to make an application through your Local Education Authority to the Student Loans Company (SLC) for a loan. Tuition fees are then paid as a loan, by the Student Loan Company, directly to the University on your behalf.

You will only have to pay the loan back through the tax system once you have completed your degree studies and are earning over £15,000.

The new government reforms to student funding do not affect those students starting university in the academic year 2011/2012.

2012 UK/EU Fees information

The Government has decided to change the way that Universities are funded for teaching, replacing the Government grant with funding from student fees. Through a system of graduate loan repayments, graduates will be expected to contribute up to the full cost of their courses. Please don't panic - you do not have to pay up-front - you only start paying the fees after you have completed your studies and are earning more than £21,000.

We plan to charge between £6,000 and £9,000 for our undergraduate-level courses. And if you choose to study at the University of Bedfordshire, you will benefit from the following:

Enhanced job prospects - some 92 per cent of our students either step into jobs or continue their studies after graduating, according to the latest Destinations of Leavers in Higher Education report (DLHE).
Excellent teaching - we have been awarded top marks by the Government's higher education watchdog, the Quality Assurance Agency.
Generous financial support - we have always provided among the most generous financial support packages for those students who need it the most.
Access to first-rate facilities - our £180m investment programme is bringing you among the very best in accommodation, facilities and equipment.

And don't forget, graduates earn considerably more during their lifetime than non-graduates, so choosing to study a degree not only represents good value now but also a very sound future investment.

We look forward to welcoming you at the University of Bedfordshire.
