Fees, funding and scholarships

International students

We can tell you the price of a degree - but that's not the same as its value. You can't put a price on transforming yourself and your future.

What you pay for your degree

The standard tuition fee for an international student on a full-time undergraduate degree is £15,000 a year (September 2023, November 2023 or January 2024 entry). Your course fees are fixed at the same level for all the years you study on the same course so that's the cost each year for these degrees:

  • BA (Hons) Animation
  • BA (Hons) Business Management
  • BSc (Hons) Computer Science
  • BSc (Hons) Data Science
  • BA (Hons) Games Art
  • BA (Hons) Games Design
  • BSc (Hons) Games Development
  • BSc (Hons) Games Programming
  • BSc (Hons) Information and Cyber Security
  • BSc (Hons) International Business
  • BSc (Hons) Visual Effects

Deposits

If you are an international student funding your own studies, you must pay a deposit of £5,000 before receiving your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) which you need to apply for a student visa. You can then either pay the remainder of your course fees before you enrol or in instalments throughout the academic year.

If you are refused a visa, we may refund your deposit.

If you are receiving financial sponsorship from your government or your employer, you should provide a copy of your sponsorship letter.

You must provide evidence that you have the following amount of money available to you:

  • any outstanding tuition fees owed to Teesside University (this will be your total tuition fee cost for the first year of your course, minus the deposit you have already paid to Teesside University)

and

  • maintenance / living costs: £1,334 a month for courses inside London, for the duration of the course as stated on your offer letter / CAS, for a maximum period of 9 months (£12,006)
  • the total amount above must be held for a period of 28 consecutive days (finishing on the date of the closing balance) ending no more than 31 days before the date that your student visa application is submitted to UKVI.

Bank transfers

We do not advise making a payment by bank transfer. This is because:

  • it can take ten working days or more to process an international bank transfer.
  • there are no payment confirmations or notifications when paying by this method.
  • there can be hidden fees when paying by this method.
  • refunds made for bank transfers can take a significant amount of time (up to several months in some cases).

The University is unable to accept payments made by cash or cheque.
