Tuition fees 2010 & 2011

Home student status typically applies to persons ordinarily resident in the UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and to nationals of the EU and Overseas Territories. Nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland may often qualify for Home status or other financial support. Please contact the Admissions Assistant for your proposed degree programme.

Entry to many Buckingham programmes is possible in January, July and September. Although as an independent University Buckingham charges higher fees, studying here can make real financial sense as you can see from the figures below:
