Additional expenses

There are no additional course expenses if learners have access to the internet and access to a computer for their studies. The course is fully accessible online as a distance learner. There is no requirement for learners on this route to travel to Manchester or attend on-campus.

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.
