After a period of three years (five years for part-time students), and once the data gathering and analysis phase of the project is completed, students are entitled to a period of one year (two years for part-time students) at which a reduced writing-up fee is payable. The writing-up fee for 2017-18 is £650 - this flat fee covers the writing-up period. If the work is not submitted for examination within the designated writing-up period, the fee will normally revert to the standard fee for the following year.

A different fee and funding structure exists for UK and European Union students studying the following full-time postgraduate courses:

• PgDip/MSc Diagnostic Radiography (pre-registration)
