Fees and funding

In this section you will find information on fees, loans and financial support, so you can work out how much it will cost to come to university and what help is available.

While you are studying at Worcester, you will need to pay annual tuition fees to us. You will also need to consider other expenses such as living costs, accommodation fees and study materials.

A wide range of financial support is available to help you cover the cost of your studies, throughout the duration of your course.

Fees for 2011

You may have heard lots of talk in the media about the impending increase in UK/EU undergraduate tuition fees for students starting in 2012. If you are applying to start your course in 2011 you may be confused over how this impacts on you. Here are the key facts you need to know if you are considering studying at Worcester:

  • If you begin your undergraduate studies in 2011, and are a UK/EU resident you will pay £3375. This is the fee that you will pay for each year of your study and it will increase only in line with inflation in those subsequent years of study.
  • If you are deferring entry until 2012 (will be applying in 2011, but intending to take up your place at University in 2012) or if you will be applying for 2012 entry, the new fee rates will apply to you.

Fees for 2012

From 2012, the government will introduce new funding arrangements for higher education. This means the withdrawal of the great majority of public funding for higher education. The University of Worcester is one of the very few universities, known for their high-quality qualifications, who are charging the actual cost (rather than the maximum amount established by the Government).

The fees at Worcester reflect the cost of efficiently providing an excellent education. We believe that once a student is selected to study here, they become a member of our community. This informs everything we do.

At Worcester, we are committed to providing our future students with the same worldclass education and state-of-the-art facilities available to our students today. We will be introducing a raft of measures to ensure that we continue to attract the most talented, ambitious students regardless of their financial circumstances.
