Costs and Fees
Get a clear picture of how much coming to University might cost and what help is available
How much you pay is determined by what course you are studying, the level (undergraduate, postgraduate) your mode of attendance (full-time or part-time) and your fee status (UK/Home, International, EU).
- Fees and costs of studying page (www.wlv.ac.uk/fees) - fees for UK taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses
- International - fees for non-european union students
- Research - costs for pursuing research study
It is important to carefully consider the financial implications of studying at university. In additional to paying tuition fees, you will need to cover your living expenses, including accommodation, food, heating, travel, books and stationery.
No matter how you are being funded, whether through Student Finance (UK/Home students) or paying for it yourself, working out how much you will need to cover basic costs is a good place to start.
