Additional costs
As a student on this course, you should factor some additional costs into your budget, alongside your tuition fees and living expenses. You should be able to access most of the books you’ll need through our libraries, and the department covers the cost of basic design materials as well as the return travel and accommodation related to compulsory field trips.
If you choose to take the South Africa live build field trip, you will need to contribute around £1,200 towards this and raise additional funds of around £1,000 through charitable activity.
As a first year undergraduate there are certain small pieces of equipment you will need on joining us. A list will be sent to you along with induction instructions but please allow around £150.
Large format printing is a requirement for Architecture students, we are reviewing the volume of printing we ask our students to produce in order to reduce costs, but for current requirements allow around £600 per year for printing.
The department has two PC labs running design software, and while we do not require that you purchase your own device, we have found that many students do so. Depending upon your device preference, allow from £600 for the purchase and budget also for software where this is not available through free student licence agreements.
Please note that these figures are approximate and subject to change.
