Information about your fees and how to find out how much they’ll be.
Every student is charged a fee for the duration of their studies at UCL. This fee covers all elements of your registration, enrolment, tuition, supervision and examination for each full or part academic year for which you are enrolled. It also includes membership to the UCL Students' Union. It doesn't cover living costs, books, materials or travel. Programme fees increase annually and are published approximately 14 months before the next academic year begins.
When you accept your place at UCL, you accept responsibility for ensuring your fees are paid, whether that is by you, by a loan or through sponsorship or funding.
How much you should pay
For most new students, tuition fees will be quoted on your offer letter. Programme fees for all new students may also be viewed in our online fee schedules.
Continuing students can view their upcoming fees for the year in Portico, which is usually updated over the summer. Many fees are subject to inflationary increases of up to 5% annually, so your fees may go up each year. The exceptions are UK Undergraduates, whose fees are capped at by the UK Govt, plus overseas Undergraduates and all Postgraduate Taught students (from 2025-26), whose fees are now fixed at the point of entry.
Part-time
Part-time students are charged each September for the upcoming year. Your fees for the first year of study are on the relevant online fee schedule and in the prospectus. You can pay for each yearly fee in 3 instalments.
Modular (flexible) students
Fees for modular Postgraduate Taught and MRes students are generated in Portico for the upcoming year, after the module selection deadline has passed. The fee each year is based on the credit value of the modules you are taking. You can pay for each yearly fee in 3 instalments.
If modules are added, removed or changed during the year, please check Portico and contact Student Fees if you think your fees need re-calculating.
Repeat fees
Repeating full-time, part-time or Modular
In line with Section 9 of the Academic Manual, Undergraduates and Postgraduate Taught students pay fees based on the number of credits being repeated. .
