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.

We are delighted to provide international fee-paying students with our International Accommodation Award, giving students the option of their university accommodation being entirely covered by the tuition fee or with a £2,000 discount. Terms and conditions apply.

This housing scholarship is applicable for the duration of the taught element of your studies if you are studying a Bachelors degree, Masters degree or a Foundation course. In some cases PhD students may also be eligible. 

We have plenty of availability, however, a room on campus is not guaranteed, and is allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Students must apply for accommodation by the stated deadlines to be eligible for a room. 

The University has several different accommodation buildings. The housing scholarship is different depending on which building you choose. Places in Cwrt Mawr are included in your tuition fee for international students, whilst, all other on-campus options include a £2,000 discount. Please take a look at our International Accommodation Award page for the full Terms & Conditions and to check your eligibility.

The International Accommodation Award is only applicable if you choose to live in University-managed accommodation.
