  • Spain
  • USA

Tuition Fees

  • £9,535 per year (UK undergraduate students)
  • For full details including fees for part-time students and reduced fees during your time studying abroad or on placement (where applicable), see our fees page.

Additional Costs

All students will need at least one device to approve security access requests via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). We also recommend students have a suitable laptop to work both on and off-campus. For more information, please check the equipment advice.


As a student on this course, you should factor some additional costs into your budget, alongside your tuition fees and living expenses.


  • Books: You should be able to access most of the books you’ll need through our libraries, though you may wish to purchase your own copies.
  • Printing: Due to our commitment to sustainability, we don’t print lecture notes but these are available digitally.
  • Year in Industry: For the year in industry, you may be paid but you will need to factor in accommodation or travel costs.
  • Equipment: To support your studies, the university recommends you have a suitable laptop to work on when on or off campus. If you already have a device, it is unlikely you will need a new one in the short term. If you are looking into buying a new device, we recommend you buy a Windows laptop, as it is more flexible and many software packages you will need are only compatible with Windows.

Scholarships and Bursaries

  • School Scholarships: We offer an international orientation scholarship of £2,000 to the best international (full-time, non EU) applicants on this course.
  • Home Students: Over one third of our UK students receive our means-tested core bursary, worth up to £1,000 a year. Full details can be found on our financial support pages.
