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 2021 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.
Read about what your tuition fees pay for.
Fees for students with Home fee status
UK undergraduate fees are regulated by the government. Tuition fees are liable to increase annually for all University of Bath students.
If you aren't paying your fees in British pounds, you should also budget for possible fluctuations in your own currency.
