Postgraduate fees and finance

As a postgraduate student you will need to pay annual tuition fees to the University for the taught course or research programme that you are studying. Tuition fees vary according to the type of programme you choose. Fees charged to full-time international students from outside the EU include the full cost of tuition, examinations, Students’ Union membership and research support expenses (where applicable).

In addition to tuition fees, you will also need to consider other expenses such as living costs, accommodation fees and study materials.

For some courses or research programmes you may be able to apply for funding from the University or from external sources to cover your tuition fees and/or your living expenses.

Financial Support for MSc courses

It is not possible to undertake part-time work while following the course full-time. Therefore you will need to be able to provide your own full financial support during the course.

Some students taking the course are industrially sponsored, other students obtain financial support from local authorities, from professional institutions such as the IEE or from Career Development Loans. If you wish to obtain such sponsorship, you must make your own private arrangements.

Financial Support for iPhD Courses

Students undertaking the Intergrated PhD must either be self funded or have secured full Government funding for all four years of the course before making their application.

Meet our students: Reena Pau

I am being supervised by Professor Wendy Hall and Dr Su White, and because my research interests are multi-disciplinary I am lucky to have an advisor from the School of Education: Professor Alison Fuller.

My research interests are quite unusual in ECS, but very necessary. My PhD investigates how the perception of technology careers dissuades females from choosing computing courses at higher education. My PhD research is a stepping stone to my overall ambition, which is to
empower people (not just women!) to believe that they can contribute to an industry like computing and make a real difference.

Reena Pau, PhD student in the LSL group.

 

PhD Studentships

Details of current PhD studentships are also advertised on the University’s Job Vacancies page.

Research Council Funding

A large proportion of postgraduate students are funded by one of the UK Research Councils. Successful UK applicants receive fees and maintenance support while EU students are awarded a fees-only grant. If your programme is eligible for Research Council funding you will need to contact the relevant Council directly, Competition for these awards is intense and you are advised to apply early. For some of the University’s postgraduate programmes you may need confirmation that you have been awarded funding before you can register as a postgraduate.
