MEng Chemical Engineering

Tuition fees for home students commencing their studies in September 2026 will be £9,535 for the 2026/27 academic year. Tuition fees for international students will be £37,800 for the 2026/27 academic year. For general information please see the undergraduate finance pages.

In England and Wales, tuition fees for undergraduate home students are subject to the Government fee cap, which is currently £9,535. If the Government does not increase the cap beyond £9,535, then the tuition fee you will pay for subsequent academic years will continue to be £9,535.

All fees will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of courses lasting more than a year for all students.

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. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).

At The University of Manchester we're committed to attracting and supporting the very best students. We have a focus on nurturing talent and ability and we want to make sure that you have the opportunity to study here, regardless of your financial circumstances.
