Course fees

In 2012, the Government introduced financial arrangements which led to the withdrawal of most of the public funding for higher education.

Fees at Worcester reflect the cost of efficiently providing an excellent education. Our philosophy is that once a student is selected to study here, they become a member of our community. This informs everything we do.

At Worcester, we are committed to providing our future students with an outstanding education, facilities and opportunities.

The University remains committed to providing more opportunities for highly talented, ambitious students regardless of their financial circumstances.

Tuition fees are reviewed annually and undergraduate tuition fees usually increase in line with inflation.

EU students

Since August 2021 EU students studying in England have not been eligible for the home rate for course fees, or undergraduate, postgraduate and advanced learner financial support from Student Finance England. However, at the University of Worcester we have decided that EU students starting their studies in the academic years 2023/24 and 2024/25 will pay the same course fees as home students (with the exception of the Medicine MBChB and PGCE students who are in receipt of a DFE bursary).

Irish nationals, EU students who have settled or pre-settled status, or EU, other EEA and Swiss nationals benefitting from Citizens’ Rights under the EU Withdrawal Agreement, EEA EFTA Separation Agreement or Swiss Citizens’ Rights Agreement respectively remain eligible for the home rate of course fees and support from Student Finance England.

Eligibility for home fees is subject to various criteria. For more information, and to confirm your eligibility, please contact our International team via international@worc.ac.uk
