Tuition Fees, Scholarships and Bursaries

Undergraduate Students

Tuition Fees

Going to University is a real investment in your future. You’ll have two main costs to consider – tuition fees and living costs.

Most students will be able to apply for loans to help pay for these. Depending on where you live and your circumstances, grants, bursaries, and scholarships might also be available.

Our detailed guide to what studying at Derby costs and the available help to pay for it, can be found on our website. It can be complex, so get in touch with us if you need help making sense of anything.

Tuition fees are the money you pay for your course. These vary depending on if you are a full-time student or a part-time student, and if you are a UK student vs an international student. To find out more, please visit our website.
