    Please see full details on the Pay your Tuition Fees page.

  • Tuition Fee Liability for Student Withdrawals

    Full-time Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Students

    The date when a student withdraws will affect the level of tuition fees which may be refunded.  Adjustments to tuition fees are calculated with reference to the date of a student's withdrawal from the University, not the last date of attendance. The table below demonstrates how tuition fees are calculated in respect of a withdrawal;


    Withdrawal Policy

    Attendance/SLC Liability Point Normal Effective Period Fees due to the University 
    First Liability Date - Completion of Enrolment and Registration (non-refundable unless the student cancels the contract in accordance with the Terms and Conditions for 2022 entry)  up to 9 January 2023  25%
     Second Liability Date 10 January 2023- 16 April 2023  50%
    Third Liability Date 17 April 2023 onwards  100%

    Part-time Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Students

    Fees for part-time students are calculated by semester.  Further details of the withdrawal and module drop policy, for part-time students, are outlined in Section 4.4.2 of the Student Finance Framework.

    Postgraduate Research Students

    The tuition fee liability for a Postgraduate Research student withdrawal, or a temporary leave of absence, is based on the official date of withdrawal in the academic year, and a refund will be issued, if appropriate.  The tuition fee is calculated for a month if a student is deemed to be in attendance on, or after, the 5th of that month.

    For further information, please refer to the Student Finance Framework.
