Higher Education
The College levies HE fees at the standard rate determined nationally
plus a top-up fee agreed by
the college with OFFA. Our Access Agreement (available from the
college and on the OFFA
website at www.offa.org.uk) gives details of how the additional
fees are used to support the HE
programme and individual students.

Students from European Union member states pay tuition fees as charged
to UK residents.
However, please note that tuition fee waivers do not apply to EU
students.

Overseas students are those who have not been normally resident
in the UK or another EU country for the three years prior to the
start of the course. (Please note that renewed student visas do
not meet the criteria of ‘normally resident’.) There is an annually
agreed tuition fee for overseas students. For the year 2007 - 2008
this will be £6,264.
