In many cases, costs associated with your course will be included in your course fee. However, in some cases there are ‘essential’ additional costs (those that you will be required to meet in addition to your course fee), and/or ‘optional’ additional costs (costs that are not required, but that you might choose to pay). We have included those essential or optional additional costs that relate to your course, below.
Essential Costs
- Placement locations and experiences will vary throughout the course and you will need to pay for any additional travel or dual accommodation costs. If you are eligible for tuition fees and maintenance support from the Student Loan Company, you'll be eligible to apply to the NHS Learning Support Fund. Visit the NHS Learning Support Fund web page for details
- Specific unit visits. Visits will take place in and around Leeds, e.g. St Gemma’s Hospice or the Prosthetic Centre at Seacroft. All locations will be accessible by public transport and you will need to pay for your own travel costs
- You'll be provided with a name badge and Smartcard. Smartcards enable healthcare professionals to access clinical information appropriate to their role. There will be a charge for lost Smartcards (£27) and a charge for lost placement name badges (£5)
- Occupational health (OH) and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance is essential for this programme. The cost of these checks is currently covered by your course fees. If you fail to attend your appointment you may be charged a missed appointment fee £35. This charge will be incurred per missed appointment. If you fail to attend more than one appointment, you'll be referred to the course director. Non-compliance with the DBS and OH processes will be managed through application of the university's 'Fitness to Practice Policy and Procedures'
- An initial set of uniforms will be included in your course fee at the start of your course, but you may wish to purchase additional sets (£35 for a tunic and trousers)

- You may wish to purchase key texts (£50 per text). Many of these will be available via the library as e-books
Other study-related expenses to consider: materials that you will need to complete your course such as books (whilst the library provides access to readings recommended for your modules, you may wish to purchase your own copies of some books); you can also make suggestions for books to be added to Library stock; placement costs (these may include travel expenses and living costs); student visas (international students only); printing, photocopying and stationery (you may need to pay for multiple copies of your dissertation or final project to be printed and bound); events associated with your course such as field trips; study abroad opportunities (travel costs and accommodation, visas and immunisations). Other costs could include academic conferences (travel costs) and professional-body membership (where applicable). The costs you will need to cover for graduation will include gown hire and guest tickets, and optional extras such as professional photography.
As well as your mobile phone, you will also need access to a desktop computer and/or laptop to complete assignments and access university online services such as MyBeckett, your virtual learning environment. You can book and borrow AV equipment through the media equipment service accessed online via the student hub and located in the library at each campus. Equipment includes: 360 Cameras, iPads, GoPros, MacBooks, portable data projectors, portable projection screens, flipchart stands, remote presenters, digital cameras and camcorders, SLR cameras, speakers, microphones, headphones, headsets, tripods, digital audio recorders and PC/laptops (a laptop loans service is provided on campus in the library on both campuses).

This list is not exhaustive, costs are approximate and will vary depending on the choices you make during your course. Any rental, travel or living costs are also in addition to your course fees.
