Spring 2025 (March/April) study school is online. There is a study school fee which is approximately £50 for this online study school.

September 2025 study school is residential at Aberystwyth. Details and accommodation costs for this school are yet to be confirmed. Details will be emailed to you once you are registered on the course. If you have any questions about this school, please contact the department on dis-dept@aber.ac.uk

September 2025: Course Fees do not include the costs of the residential study schools. This means you will need to budget for travel and accommodation costs, as well as a study school fee which is approximately £50. We also offer a stay-on-campus package for residential study schools which includes all accommodation, food, and social events.  This is approximately £250-£300, depending upon the number of nights stayed. You can also make your own accommodation arrangements and just pay the study school fee.

The undergraduate BSc Information and Library Studies programme requires participation in three study schools.

Postgraduate programmes require participation in at least the first school (either residential or online). Further schools depend on the qualification / programme you are following. All postgraduate students progressing to the Dissertation stage must participate in a Dissertation School.

• Postgraduate full time (and part time)
• Undergraduate full time (and part time)
• Distance learning (undergraduate and postgraduate). The UK Government provides loans for part-time postgraduate distance learners living in the UK (you must be registered on a two-year programme). For undergraduate distance learners living in the UK, you can apply for a loan (based on your pace of progress). For further information, please contact the Department, or follow the ‘Region’ links on the University’s Other Funding page. If you are funding the course yourself, you can pay for modules across two to five years by buying modules through the University’s online shop. Some distance learners are sponsored by their organisation.
