Fees and Funding

Subject to approval by the Board of Directors, the tuition fee for students starting in September 2011 from the UK and other EU countries will be £4,100 each year for two years (£8,200 in total).

Local authorities do not usually provide financial support for students on postgraduate courses. You may be able to apply for financial assistance from a variety of educational charities and trusts. For further information, contact the Educational Grants Advisory Service, or obtain a copy of the Education Grants Directory, published by the Directory of Social Change. 

Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans that can be used to help pay for work related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work).  The Young People’s Learning Agency will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards. The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. For further information on financial assistance to support your learning, visit www.direct.gov.uk/adultlearning or contact Careers Advice on 0800 100 900.

Scholarships

Each year, the College also offers a number of entry scholarships to outstanding applicants on the basis of auditions. Scholarships can be worth up to the full value of the tuition fees.

Fees and Funding (International Students)

The tuition fee for students from outside the European Union is £8,100 each year for two years (£16,200 in total).

UK authorities are unable to provide financial support for students from outside the European Union. We recommend that you contact the Ministry of Education or Education Department in your own country for details of scholarship opportunities for students wishing to study overseas. You can also contact your nearest British Council office which will have details of British scholarship schemes. You will find contact details on the British Council's website at www.britishcouncil.org. The Council for International Education also provides advice on finance as well as visas and immigration on its website at www.ukcosa.org.uk.
