What are higher tier fees?

Higher tier fees are charged for MPhil and PhD study based in the School of Science & Engineering to reflect the higher costs of these disciplines. The fee applicable will be clearly stated in your offer letter.

* Global Excellence Scholarship is not available to students during the work placement year.

**Research degree students must pay a writing up fee in addition to their course fee. The fee is applicable to year four on full time courses, and years six and seven of part-time courses. For the DBA, the writing up fee applies to year three for full-time and years five and six for part time. 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 2020 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.
