International Fees and Scholarships

International Tuition Fees and Funding

Fees depend on your course, level of study, and when you’re starting with us.

Your tuition fees cover more than teaching. They fund equipment and specialist facilities, plus library, IT and academic support. They also fund wellbeing services and student activities, so you can get the most out of student life at Norwich.

There may be additional costs not covered by this fee, such as accommodation, living costs, recommended reading, stationery, printing, and re-assessments should you need them..

Tuition fees are payable for each year you’re at university. Fees for each subsequent year of your course may increase, capped at no more than the annual measure recommended by the Office for Students (OfS).
