The tuition fee for each project will depend on the cost of running the project, including, required access to laboratory facilities, equipment and materials needed to carry out the research, and whether the project is lab-based or desk-based. We therefore estimate the fee based on different bands.

Fees quoted are fully inclusive and, therefore, you will not be required to pay any additional bench fees or administration costs.

All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum may be applied depending on fee status and band. For general fees information please visit the postgraduate fees page .

Always contact the Admissions team if you are unsure which fees apply to your project.
