Tuition Fees for International Students 2025/2026

Please note:

• For international undergraduate students, fee levels are frozen at the level of entry for subsequent study years. This means you know exactly what your fee levels will be for the duration of your studies with Aberystwyth University.
• For international postgraduate research students, tuition fees are subject to an annual increase and are linked to UK Research Council fees. 

Flexible Payment Methods

We accept a variety of payment methods. Students can pay in full, or in a maximum of three separate instalments. There is more information on our How To Pay webpages.

Additional Costs

Some of the University's degree programmes offer opportunities for students to undertake fieldwork trips. The cost of these activities is not included in the usual tuition fees. There may also be additional costs in the purchase of materials such as art supplies. Details of any additional study courses, and the likely cost, are included in departmental information at the start of term.

Below are general examples of the kinds of costs incurred by a student staying at Aberystwyth. Remember, these will vary according to the lifestyle of the individual student. Costs are calculated over the academic year which is usually around 39 weeks.

Please also bear in mind that these are average costs. The residential costs at Aberystwyth are much lower than in other parts of the UK. Travel costs within the town are low and general living costs are much cheaper.
