Courses and Fees

What the College is running this intake, school by school, with the fees Finance has set against each one.

The catalogue below is read out of the College's own records. A programme appears once it has been approved to run, and the figure quoted against it is the cheapest fee structure Finance currently has active for it — which is why it reads "from". Ask the admissions office for the structure that applies to you before you commit to anything.

There are no empty tables on this page. If a programme is listed, it is running; if a fee is shown, somebody in the finance office set it.
