Tuition Fees
UCL’s tuition fees are set annually and cover registration, tuition and supervision for each academic year, or part of an academic year that you are enrolled.
Tuition fees are subject to an annual increase, which should be accounted for when you are applying for a programme. Details about fees for individual programmes are given on the subject pages of the UCL Graduate Prospectus and UCL’s fee schedule, together with additional information about fees, can be found on the UCL website at www.ucl.ac.uk/current-students/money.
Fees are normally quoted at the full-time rate, except where the programme is offered part-time or flexible , modular only. Fees for part-time study are normally charged at half the full time fee. Fees for flexible, modular study are charged pro-rata to the appropriate full time Master’s fee taken in an academic session.
Tuition fee classification
The level of fee charged will depend upon whether you are what is termed a UK, EU, Overseas or Islands student. It is likely that you will already know in which category you fall but this will be confirmed if you are offered a place at UCL.
Your fee classification plays no part in deciding whether or not to offer you a place to study at UCL.
Each student’s tuition fee classification is determined in accordance with the 2007 Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations (SI No. 779) and subsequent amendments, based upon information that you have provided on your application. Further details of how tuition fee status is determined, and who to contact if you wish to query the decision on your fee status classification, can be found at www.ucl.ac.uk/current-students/money
Paying your tuition fee
Your tuition fee will normally be quoted on your offer letter. Shortly before you are due to enrol you will be sent further details about making your payment although all of the information is available at www.ucl.ac.uk/current-students/money
Students Enrolling in the Autumn Term
Your can pay your tuition fee in two equal instalments and no more than two are permitted. You must pay at least 50% of your tuition fee before or at enrolment to become fully enrolled, or provide a letter of sponsorship indicating who should be invoiced for your fees. If at least 50% of the amount due is not paid at this point, the student will receive Time Limited Enrolment. The second instalment is due by 1 February (within the same academic year). It is not necessary to complete an application form or pay a fee in order to pay by instalments; paying 50% of fees due at enrolment will amend our system.
Students Enrolling On or After 1 January
You must pay your tuition fee in full in order to enrol. No instalments are permitted.

Living expenses
In addition to paying your tuition fees you will also need to consider how you are going to meet your living costs while you are studying. Funds will be required to cover the costs of your accommodation, food and travel as well as other costs associated with your studies, such as books, and everyday life, such as clothes and entertainment.
Estimates of how much money you will need may vary considerably, as the lifestyles and circumstances of individual students differ. For a single, graduate student studying for a calendar year, an estimated average would be in the region of £220 per week. This should be considered only as a guide; some students may find they can live within this allowance, yet others may find it insufficient to meet their expectations.
Students who have a dependent spouse and/or children will require a significantly greater amount. All students should be aware that they will probably incur initial expenses such as a deposit for accommodation and purchase of books. International students may also need to buy clothing suitable for the British climate.
