course fees and living costs

How much will my course cost?

Your tuition fees are based on these factors:

  • Which level your course is – whether it is a pre-sessional, foundation, undergraduate or postgraduate course
  • The cost can also depend on which course you want to study. For example, some of our postgraduate courses vary in price. We recommend that you check the fees for your specific course by using our Course Finder
 
 Course level Annual Tuition Fees
Pre-sessional 6 weeks £2,310
Pre-sessional 10 weeks £3,575

Apply for an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate, to study certain subjects in the UK.

ATAS applies to all international students and researchers (apart from exempt nationalities) who are subject to UK immigration control and intend to study or research at postgraduate level in certain sensitive subjects.

Researchers and students of all the nationalities listed must apply for an ATAS certificate. You must apply if you are undertaking a postgraduate course or research in certain sensitive subjects in the UK. If you are applying to study an undergraduate course with an integrated Master's year you may also need ATAS clearance.

Funding your course

There are ways you may be able to fund your course. Sometimes it is possible to get sponsorship from a government body in your country. There are many different options, so have a look through the links carefully to see if they apply to you. 

 

Paying your course fees

  1. Pay a minimum of 50% of your first-year tuition fees to Leeds Beckett University 

    For example, with a first-year tuition fee of £14,000 and scholarship of £1000, the minimum would be £6,500 (50% of 13,000),

    or 

    Send a copy of your official sponsor letter to cas@leedsbeckett.ac.uk Sponsored students are usually sponsored by a government, employer or another official organisation. You are not a sponsored student if a family member or friend is providing you with financial assistance.

  2. Pay the remainder of your course fees within three months of starting your course.
