Fees and finance

In these pages 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.

Tuition fees are reviewed annually and may increase in subsequent years of your course to reflect increased costs of delivery and to maintain a high-quality student experience.

From September 2025 our standard annual undergraduate tuition fee for full time Home students is £9,535, applying to all years of study.  The University will continue to set undergraduate, PGCE and postgraduate pre-registration Health course fees at the maximum level permitted by the government to be charged to Home students on these courses. The University will therefore increase tuition fees in line with any uplift determined by the government by law or government policy. Such increases are usually linked to inflation and determined using RPIX (the Retail Price Index excluding mortgage interest payments). The University will notify you of any fee increase by no later than June before the start of the academic year in which the fee increase will apply. If you are dissatisfied with the proposed increase, you have the right to terminate your contract with the University.

EU students

Since August 2021 EU students studying in England have not been eligible for the home rate for course fees, or undergraduate, postgraduate and advanced learner financial support from Student Finance England. However, at the University of Worcester we have decided that EU students starting their studies in the academic years 2025/26 and 2026/27 will pay the same course fees as home students (with the exception of the Medicine MBChB and PGCE students who are in receipt of a DFE bursary).

Irish nationals, EU students who have settled or pre-settled status, or EU, other EEA and Swiss nationals benefitting from Citizens’ Rights under the EU Withdrawal Agreement, EEA EFTA Separation Agreement or Swiss Citizens’ Rights Agreement respectively remain eligible for the home rate of course fees and support from Student Finance England.

Eligibility for home fees is subject to various criteria. For more information, and to confirm your eligibility, please contact our International team via international@worc.ac.uk
