Fees and Funding

International students who are not on an exchange programme will have to pay tuition fees to the University and also pay for accommodation, food, travel, books and other personal expenses. Most students spend about £700 per month so you need to ensure that you will have sufficient funding to cover the cost of studying in the UK. For further information about the costs of studying please see the International Office website. 

 

Fees

The University has a fee webpage with information for prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students about fees for our courses.

A fee reduction may be made for early payment of tuition fees and tuition fees can be paid in three instalments over the course of the academic year. The University has information about arrangements to pay fees on the Finance Office website.

 

Scholarships

The University has a number of scholarships available to undergraduate and postgraduate international students, which can be accessed through a searchable database.

There are also a number of scholarships available to international students through other organisations including the School of English Undergraduate Mature student scholarship, and the US-UK Fulbright Scholarship.

 

Non-competitive scholarships

The University also offers a number of non-competitive scholarships (i.e. they are available to all relevant applicants) to 'non UK' full time students (categorised as 'non UK' for fee purposes) such as:

Alumni Scholarship - a scholarship of 10% towards your tuition fees
Family Scholarship - a scholarship where brothers or sisters register at the University, children of alumni, husbands or wives
Alumni of a U21 Institution Scholarship - a scholarship if you have previously studied at one of the Universities U21 Partner Universities listed on the International Office website
Study Abroad and International Exchange Alumni - a scholarship if you have studied previously at the University

Please note carefully the deadlines for scholarship applications so that you allow yourself enough time to be considered for a place in the School before having to submit a scholarship application.

 

Bank account

You will need to set up a UK bank account when you arrive in Nottingham. The International Office can help you with this during Welcome Week for International students in the University. This will take place in time for your first tuition fee payment in October.

 

Working to Fund your studies

Some students work part-time to help fund their studies. International students are able, by law, to work up to 20 hours a week during the University term time. This restriction does not apply to the vacation periods. The University’s Centre for Career Development has information for students who wish to find out more about working to fund their studies. The Centre maintains a list of current vacancies.

 

Health Costs

You will be able to register with the University Cripps Health Care Centre on arrival.  Please check with Cripps Health Care Centre about the provision of dental and health cover during your period of study at the University.
