Tuition fees for the Distance Learning courses

The fees quoted below are for each year of registered study for the MA in Church History and the MA in Systematic and Philosophical Theology. The stated fees are subject to a minimal increase every academic year. For example, if your start date is September 2011 then your first year of registered study will be from 01 October 2011 to 30 September 2012, and the fee will increase on 01 October 2012.

How to pay

Fees can be paid in different ways: in person at your bank, online through the Intranet Portal, over the phone, in person at the Student Services Centre, through bank transfer, or by cheque. Find out more about the different ways of paying fees at Nottingham.

Please note: You can also pay in advance. Fees can be paid at any time through the Intranet Portal.

The pro-rata fee for each year varies according to your fee status, course duration, and Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) and Equivalent or Lower Qualification (ELQ) – if applicable. Each year this yearly fee will be divided into two and two invoices are raised. 

Students will have to pay the full amount outstanding by each due date. In practice this means that a lump sum will need to be paid within the first month of the course. After this, it is possible to pay in separate instalments as long as the full amount outstanding is paid by each due date as stated on the invoice. 

Students need to re-register in August each year. If any fees remain outstanding, students won’t be permitted to re-register until the outstanding amount has been settled.

Exit points

Most students will take all 180 credits and proceed to the MA. You can, however, exit from the programme with either a Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits of modules) or a Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits of modules). If it appears that you will be unable to complete the Master’s degree within the permitted time allocation (four years), the Course Director will recommend that you exit from the programme with a Postgraduate Certificate, or Diploma, as appropriate.
