Your Estimated Annual Commitment:

Component Cost
University Composition Fee £9,858
Maintenance £18,625
Total Annual Commitment £28,483

If any fieldwork is required, students can apply for limited funding from the Postgraduate Education Committee. However, this is likely to be insufficient to cover all costs, so students may have to find additional funding elsewhere.

If you study part-time, the University Composition Fee will be 60% of the annual full-time fee for 5 years; or 75% of the annual full-time fee for 4 years.
