Understanding your tuition fees

You pay tuition fees at the beginning of each year. The fee rates depend on your fee status, not your mode of study. If you are an EU national starting in September 2023 your fee status may be Home or Overseas, depending on your circumstances.

Tuition fees are liable to increase annually for all University of Bath students.

You should also budget for extra costs in addition to your tuition fees.
