Tuition Fees and Costs

Find out about tuition fees for UK, EU, and international students.

Newcastle University undergraduate tuition fees

UK students

Home students starting in 2024 entry
£9,250 is the maximum fee that we are currently permitted to charge for home fee-paying students. This is set by the UK government.

As a general principle, you should expect the tuition fee to increase in each subsequent academic year of your course, subject to government regulations on fee increases and in line with inflation.

Home students starting in 2025 entry

In November 2024 the government increased the maximum fee level to £9,535 for 2025/26. It is expected that Parliament will approve the Government’s proposed increase in January and we intend to confirm our Home fees at this higher level following this.

As a general principle, you should expect the tuition fee to increase in each subsequent academic year of your course, subject to government regulations on fee increases and in line with inflation.

Tuition fee loan

You may be eligible to apply for a tuition fee loan and if you are accepted, you will not have to pay any tuition fees up-front or while you are studying.

Additional costs

Please note that some of our degrees involve additional costs which are not covered by your tuition fee.

EU students

Depending on your residency history, if you’re a student from the EU, other EEA or a Swiss national, with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you’ll normally pay the ‘Home’ tuition fee rate and may be eligible for Student Finance England support.

EU students without settled or pre-settled status will normally be charged fees at the ‘International’ rate and will not be eligible for Student Finance England support. You will be eligible for a scholarship worth 15% off the international fee.

If you are unsure of your fee status, check out the latest guidance here.

Tuition fee information for international students is set out on our individual degree pages for each degree.

Non-payment of fees

The University will withhold your degree certificate if you have not paid your tuition fees. We explain this policy in the University General Regulations (PDF: 322KB).

Paying your fees

We want to protect you by making sure you don't take unnecessary risks with your money. 

To ensure your safety in paying your tuition fees, we will no longer accept cash payments from the 2020/21 academic year.

We offer you many other payment options by safer and more secure means. 

University tuition fees are not subject to exchange control regulations for Chinese students.

Living costs

Home fee students will need to allow around £9,500-£10,500 a year for living costs. This figure is for guidance only. It will depend on your own personal spending patterns and how you manage your money.

Additional course costs

We aim to minimise additional costs to students but some of our degrees involve costs that tuition fees do not cover. To make sure that you budget accurately for university life, check if your degree requires any additional course costs.
