The fee shown here is the 'gross' fee for new students starting in the 2012/13 academic year, before the application of any scholarship or discount. A scholarship of £1,500 is available to new full-time students studying an MA, MSC or MBA (180 credits) who are eligible to pay Home/EU fees. For students studying for an award such as a Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits), Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits), or part-time, a pro rata scholarship is available. The table below provides further details:
| Programme of study | Credit Points | Scholarship for full-time students | Example of Scholarship for part-time students studying 50% of the credit points in a given year |
|---|---|---|---|
| MA, MSc, MBA | 180 | £1500 | £750 |
| Postgraduate Diploma | 120 | £1000 | £500 |
| Postgraduate Certificate | 60 | £500 | £250 |
The total cost of a Part-time course is determined by the number of modules you take in an academic year. Modules are made up of credit-points, and Part-time fees are typically quoted as fee-per-credit-point.
To calculate the typical cost of study: Fee-per-credit-point (e.g £44.44) x credit-points per module (e.g20) = module cost of £888.8. If you study 4 modules in a year the cost would be £3555.2 for that year.
