Course fees and living costs

The tuition fee for your course will vary depending on which level you want to study - whether this is pre-sessional, foundation undergraduate or postgraduate.

The cost can also depend on which course you want to study. For example, some of our postgraduate courses vary in price. See our table below for our tuition fee costs for January 2020 and September 2020:

There are ways you may be able to fund your course. Here are a few options:

• Leeds Beckett International Scholarship to cover some of your course fees
• US Direct Loan, if you're from the USA
• Sponsorship from a Government body in your country
• Commonwealth or Chevening Scholarship

If you are from the EU you may be able to apply for a student loan to cover the cost of your undergraduate or postgraduate course. Find out more by visiting our EU financing your studies page.

If you are offered a place on a course, your offer letter will contain details of your tuition fees. If you are from outside the EU, you will need to pay a minimum of 50% of your fees before you start your course.

If you require a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number to obtain a UK visa to study in the UK before a CAS number can be issued to you, you will need to:

1. Pay a minimum of 50% of your first-year tuition fees to Leeds Beckett University,
   or
   send a copy of your official sponsor letter to cas@leedsbeckett.ac.uk Sponsored students are usually sponsored by a government, employer or another official organisation. You are not a sponsored student if a family member or friend is providing you with financial assistance.
2. Pay the remainder of your course fees within three months of starting your course.
