Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences taught postgraduate tuition fees 2025/26

Fees for full and part-time taught postgraduate courses.


Factsheet

These fees are for the 2025/26 academic year only. Tuition fees are liable to increase annually for all University of Bath students.

Once you have started your studies, you should budget for an increase each year for every further year of study. Those starting in 2025/26 should budget for up to 8% fee increase each year. Those that started before 2025/26 should budget for up to 5% increase each year. The amount will be set out on our fee pages in December for the following academic year. If you defer your entry, you will pay the fees for the year that you start your course and these may be higher than the annual increase for your original academic year.

If you're an EU national your fee status may be Home or Overseas, depending on your circumstances.
