Tuition fees - foundation degrees

Your tuition fees go towards funding the various resources associated with taking a course at the University of Winchester

The University will be able to provide the resources, staff contact and support you need and deserve. It means that you will benefit from more contact with staff, first-class teaching equipment and an attractive learning environment.

We are very proud of the student experience at Winchester and we aim to make it even better for our students over the next few years.

Please note that as a student progresses onto further years of study (where the course is longer than one year in length), the tuition fees are normally subject to annual inflationary increases.

Full time

Students taking 120 credits in an academic year will normally be regarded as full time. In this situation, the tuition fee will be £8,500 for the academic year. Students doing a full time foundation degree will be considered for the University's support package.

Tuition fee support

UK and EU full time students do not have to pay fees upfront before starting their course or whilst they are studying as they are entitled to a Tuition Fee Loan. For more information about Tuition Fee Loans please go to the direct.gov site

All students should initially apply for the full £8,500 tuition fee loan unless they wish to self-fund all or part of the year. Any fee waivers will be applied later in the academic year.

Part time

Foundation degrees are normally taken as part-time study. In 2012/13, the cost of part time study will be £1065 per 15 credit module or £1420 per 20 credit module.

Tuition fee support

From 2012/13, part time UK and EU students will be entitled to a Tuition Fee Loan from the Government provided they are studying at an intensity of at least 25% of the equivalent full time course. For more information on Tuition Fee Loans please go to the direct.gov site
