Programme Fees

It is important that you plan correctly how much you will be spending over the duration of your course at Keele University.  Tuition fees are fixed but your living expenses may vary.  This page provides you with information on tuition fees and other costs involved in postgraduate research study so that you can plan your finances from day one.

The University charges an annual tuition fee. This covers the cost of your tuition, examination and graduation, and includes membership of the Guild of Students. Fees are payable at the start of your programme.

The fees you pay depend on whether you are classed as an overseas student for fees purposes. The criteria for definition are set by the British government.  For further information, a brief guide is available at www.ukcisa.org.uk.
