• Fees and Funding

    The University of Leicester can confirm that we will not be increasing fees for students starting their courses in the 2016/17 academic year, and that no further increase will be applied to their fees whilst they are an undergraduate student with us. The annual tuition fee for those who join in the 2016/17 academic year will be £9,000 for all years of full-time campus based study.

    Whatever type of course you study with us, finance will always be an important factor. There are costs to be met but there are also possible sources of funding: loans and grants, bursaries and scholarships. And there is always advice available, through the University and through national online resources.
