FEES
The way students pay for higher education and the price they pay for tuition has changed. From the September 2012, undergraduates will see an increase in the cost of gaining a university degree.
Firstly, it is important to understand that students attending the University during the 2011/12 academic year are unaffected by the rise in tuition fees.
This includes those starting in the 2011/12 winter intake in early 2012. The rise in tuition fees DOES NOT come into affect until September 2012 – the academic year of 2012/13.
The fees therefore for the 2011/12| at the University of Bolton will be:
Home and EU students - £3,375 pa
International - £8,400 pa|
The University of Bolton is offering a three-banded system. The University believes this is the fairest way to set fees, as we do not want to profiteer from students and their families.
The three-band fee structure for its on-campus provision:
-
Laboratory/specialist courses – for example, taught in dedicated facilities (£8,400)
-
Studio-based/resource intensive courses – utilising specialist equipment (£7,200)*
-
Classroom-based courses – lecture theatre or classroom based (£6,300)
*Most of our students will pay the middle band of £7,200.
