Fees & Funding

At Brunel, we recognise that studying in another country is a big financial commitment. These pages provide information on paying your tuition fees, scholarships and other sources of funding, and  an overview of the banking system in the UK. We also have helpful tips for managing your money and links to useful websites

How much will my course cost?

The fees for each course are listed on its course page. Some courses will charge additional fees for things like accreditation exams for a professional body. A general breakdown of fees by school, and information on fees in previous years can be found on the undergraduate and postgraduate finance pages.

Will I pay International or Home fees?

This depends on a number of factors. If you are not sure whether you can be classed as a home student the UKCISA website has a helpful checklist. If you are still unsure then please contact Home Admissions for a fee status questionnaire. 

How much money will I need on top of my fees?

If you are applying for a Tier 4 visa you will need to show evidence of a certain amount of money (currently £5400 for most students. See applying for a student visa for more information). Beyond this you should ensure that you budget sensibly. See our tips for budgeting while at university, and try out the International Student Calculator developed by UNIAID.

What Scholarships are available from Brunel?

The Brunel International Scholarship Programme runs annually, and offers awards totalling around £100,000. This programme has now closed for this year and results will be announced in July. Find out more about our Scholarships.
