Most full-time A level students on the two-year programmes pay no fees but two factors determine whether a student is liable for charges:
- The student’s age on joining the course
- Whether the student is part-time or full-time
The grid below shows the charges for 2026-27 – concessionary fees in brackets.
Please note that these fees are per academic year and may be subject to change at time of enrolment.
