Faculty of Science taught postgraduate tuition fees 2023/24

Fees for full and part-time taught postgraduate courses.


Factsheet

These fees are for the 2023/24 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 of up to 5% each year for every further year of study; we will not increase your fees each year by more than this percentage and the amount will be set out on our fee page 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 more than 5% higher than the previous year.

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

³The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a compulsory assessment taken at the end of the Certificate year. It is included in the cost of completing Year 1 of a Certificate/Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy Practice (Primary or Secondary Care). The examination fee only applies if the OSCE is taken separately (e.g. if exam repeated, or in the case of credit transfer/direct entry to Year 2).

Further information on awards, mandatory units and unit restrictions or requisites can be found on the programme and unit catalogues pages. Please note that Year 1 of Clinical Pharmacy Practice (Secondary Care) requires the two core units (Foundation Skills & Foundation Knowledge) to be taken concurrently. Self-funding students paying on a per-unit basis will be required to pay for both units upon commencement.
