Course fees for 2012-13 are £1200. £200 of this is a non-refundable deposit payable once you have been offered a place on the course (after interview). Students can also apply to the college's Learner Support Fund, which can offer help with some of the course and related costs (eligibility criteria apply - further details from Student Services).

International Students

If you are an international student or have lived outside the EU within the last three years, different fees are likely to apply. The overseas student fee rate for 2012-13 is £6,900. Unfortunately, the college is unable to offer any financial support to international students. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT IF YOU REQUIRE A STUDENT VISA TO ENTER THE UK, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR THIS COURSE.

The Learner Support Fund

Designed to offer financial assistance to students on state benefit and low incomes in order to give them the same opportunities as other students. Eligibility is dependant on income and can be applied for primarily to help with costs such as childcare and accommodation.
