Undergraduate Fees

Full-time tuition fees for UK students

If you are a UK student enrolling on a standard length Foundation Degree or a BA/BSc at University College Birmingham, your fee for this academic year will be £9,250. A half-year tuition fee is £4,625. There will be no change to this tuition fee for the forthcoming two academic years (2022/23 and 2023/24).

Accelerated (2 years) course fees will remain at £9,250 for the 2021/22 and 2022/23 academic year. These fees will rise to £11,100 for the 2023/24 academic year.

This is a yearly fee and will increase with inflation in subsequent years (in line with any government-permitted rise).
If you are an English student studying your first higher education qualification, you can apply for a tuition fee loan from Student Finance England. You will not start repaying this loan until you leave the course and are earning over £27,295 a year.
If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you should apply to SAAS, Student Finance Wales or Student Finance Northern Ireland. The loans and grants available to you will differ from those available from Student Finance England.
University College Birmingham does not charge UK students for 24 or 48-week placements.

This means that there is no need to pay any upfront tuition fees to go to university.

Any loans provided by Student Finance England only have to be repaid from the April after you have left the course and only if you are earning more than £26,575 per year.
