From 2009, UK and EU Students at the University of Brighton will be charged tuition fees of up to £3,225 a year for their first undergraduate qualification. Fees rise by a small percentage each year, in line with inflation. You don't need to pay your tuition fees whilst you are studying (although you can if you wish).
You can 'study now and pay later' by taking out a Student Loan to cover the cost of both your tuition fees and living expenses. You don't have to begin repaying your Student Loan until you finish your course and are earning more than £15,000 a year. Payments are generally taken through the PAYE tax system by your employer. Your payments are determined by what you are earning and not what you owe; if your earnings are below the £15,000 threshold your payments will stop.
Your fees will remain the same throughout your course. International students pay fees at the same rate for the duration of their course, so you will pay the same amount in the last year of your course as you did in the first.
If you wish you can pay your fees in two equal instalments. The first instalment is due in November and the second instalment is paid the following March each year of your course.
The tuition fees international students pay are determined by the nature of the course and whether it is class-room based or laboratory based. If you are unsure whether you should pay fees at the international rate you will need to have your status confirmed. You will need to complete a fee assesment form during the application process. All cases are judged in accordance with the governments guidlines and are treated fairly and equally.
From 2007 entry, a minimum of £1000 deposit will be requested from all international students paying full-time fees.
Some of our courses are available on a part-time basis. Tuition fee and funding arrangements are different for part-time students.
For advice on current and future part-time rates please contact the Guidance and Admissions team at City College.
