Fees and Finance
Discover more about tuition fees and the loans that can help you cover the costs of your study.
The fees for UK and EU students for 2012/13 are £9,000 for full time students. Please refer to individual course pages for course-specific fees for part time and international students.
No money in advance - tuition fee loans
If you are an eligible first degree UK or EU student you will not have to pay in advance for your tuition. The cost will be covered by a loan which you will start to repay only once you have left your course and are earning over £21,000 per year. Visit Direct Gov for more information.
Repaying tuition fee loans
Once you have graduated and are earning over £21,000 a year, you will start to repay your tuition fee loan at affordable rates based on your salary. Currently, the repayment rate is 9% of any amount over £21,000 that you earn. Your employer will deduct repayments from your monthly earnings. For students from other EU countries, repayments work in the same way as UK tuition fee loans but the income threshold for starting repayment will depend on the country where you are living.
Part-time students
From 2012, loans for tuition will be extended to eligible part time first degree students who complete a minimum of 25% of the full time course per year. Part time students are not eligible for maintenance loans or grants.
Paying by instalments
Students who do not take out a loan must pay their fees directly to the University. We have an instalment scheme for UK and EU undergraduate students where you pay 50% of the course fee at registration and the remaining 50% at the end of January.
NHS-funded courses
The NHS normally pays your tuition fees if you are following health professional courses at City: BSc Nursing, BSc Midwifery, Diploma in Nursing, BSc Radiography and BSc Speech and Language Therapy. For more information, please visit the National Business Services Authority.
