Undergraduate Tuition Fees (UK and EU
Students)
The annual tuition fees for UK and other EU students on all
undergraduate courses at the Royal Welsh College of Music &
Drama are fixed by the Welsh Assembly Government in line with other
universities and colleges in Wales. The tuition fee is currently
£3,225 and is subject to inflation. There is a range of support in
place to help you cover the cost of your tuition, the details of
which will depend on where you normally live.
If you normally live in Wales
Currently the Welsh Assembly Government has not confirmed the
availability of tuition fee grants for students enrolling in
September 2010. For entry 2009/10 if you normally live in Wales and
you choose to study at a university or college in Wales, you are
entitled to an annual grant for tuition fees from the Welsh
Assembly Government, which you do not have to repay. This is paid
directly to the university or college on your behalf. For 2009/10,
the value of the grant is £1,940 and means that students from Wales
are liable for a fee of £1,285.
Although you may choose to pay your fee contribution before you
start your course, or while you are studying, you may also choose
to defer payment by applying for a Student Loan for Fees from
Student Finance Wales. You will only have to begin repaying this
loan after you have graduated and you are earning more than £15,000
a year. Please contact Student Finance Wales

and grants.
