Policy on additional costs
All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application.

Scholarships/sponsorships
Students starting this course in 2021 may have their tuition fees paid in full by Health Education England North West if they meet the eligibility criteria. However, there is limited funding remaining and this will be applied on a first come first served basis. This is as part of a funding initiative to develop the role of pharmacists in urgent and emergency care settings.
Applications from pharmacists working in other acute and unscheduled care settings may also be eligible for funding for the course. Students working for non-NHS organisations or for NHS organisations outside the North West of England are ineligible for tuition fees and must self-fund or secure funding through their employer.
