Finance and Funding
What will I need to pay for?
Your main costs will be your tuition fees, your accommodation, materials for your course (books, stationery etc) and your cost of living, including food, transport and, of course, social life.
Tuition Fees for 2013/2014
Full-time Students
Tuition Fees for UK and EU students are £3,400 per year for the majority of taught courses and £3,600 per year for majority of research programmes, although please note that some courses have higher tuition fees.
If you are a student from outside the EU then you will need to pay international fees.
Part-time Students
For informartion on Part-time fees please see the Tuition Fee Policy document
Deposits
Postgraduate students applying to any Masters programme within the Business School at the University of Aberdeen are required to pay deposit. On registration, the student will pay the standard fee minus the deposit already paid.
Other Costs
A rough estimate of other costs that you can expect in your first year might look like this:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
|
accommodation costs (hall of residence with meals) |
£4,500 |
|
books and stationery |
£170 |
|
clothes |
£140 |
|
laundry/cleaning |
£50 |
|
telephone |
£80 |
|
postage |
£50 |
|
travel |
£100 |
|
sport/leisure |
£340 |
|
(other costs) |
£350 |
|
TOTAL |
£5,780 |
Remember, this is a conservative estimate: most students will spend more than £140 on clothes in a year and your actual costs will depend on your lifestyle.
There may also be extra costs for your degree. For example, a number of science programmes involve compulsory or voluntary field courses, and you will need to pay the cost of the field course yourself.
