What happens to my tuition fees if I interrupt or withdraw from my programme?

Most postgraduate taught (PGT) fees are based on 38 weeks for calculation purposes. Please note, your actual student registration period is likely to be for a full 12 months, normally September to September. The 38 weeks of September to July are for fee calculation purposes only, and in counting the number of weeks we do not include vacation periods (Christmas and Easter).

Important: tuition fee deposits are non-refundable

Please read carefully under the relevant heading below:

If you interrupt with a confirmed last date of attendance within the first 2 weeks from the start of your programme, no fees are due.
