Tuition and 
course fees

Tuition fees are set for the degree programme and are fixed for the duration of your programme. You can choose to pay in full at the start of your programme or pay-per-module. Module fees are calculated pro-rata based on the number of academic credits each module is worth. Each module is worth 15 academic credits, or a multiple thereof, to a total of 180 credits.

Below are the fees for students starting in the current academic year. Our academic year runs from 1 August to 31 July and we increase fees for new starters annually in August. The University reserves the right to alter the level of fee.

If you’ve successfully completed an undergraduate degree at York you could be eligible for a 10% Masters fee discount.

You may be entitled to a Government-backed loan to help fund your Masters study.
You should be prepared to pay for additional items such as textbooks and PC equipment in order to complete your studies.

Fees must be paid online by credit or debit card, either in full at the start of the programme or in advance of each module start date. Alternative payment methods are not currently available and you will not be able to access learning materials until you’ve paid your tuition fees. If you miss the payment deadline, you will unfortunately not be able to start your module/programme.
If you pay-per-module, you have 8 days after module start (14 days after payment deadline) to withdraw from your studies and receive a full refund of the tuition fees you have paid for that module. After this time period no refund will be made.

If you withdraw part way through the programme after paying in full, you will receive a refund for any modules not yet started. You will also get a refund for the current module, if you withdraw within 8 days of that module starting.

All refunds will be made to the credit/debit card that was used to originally pay the fees online.
