Home (UK) Tuition Fees

Standard undergraduate degree and PGCE courses

Home (UK) tuition fees for standard undergraduate degree and PGCE courses at Canterbury Christ Church University are currently set in line with the maximum tuition fee cap set by the UK Government.

Canterbury Christ Church University expects the 2024/25 tuition fees for standard undergraduate degree (including Foundation Year 0) and PGCE courses for Home students to be set at the current maximum tuition fee cap of £9,250. However, this is subject to any changes to this maximum tuition fee cap, or any other changes to regulated undergraduate tuition fees, that might be subsequently approved by Parliament for the 2024/25 academic year.

Other undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses

The University’s 2024/25 tuition fees for new entrants and continuing students studying on all other undergraduate and postgraduate courses where the UK Government does not set the fee will be publicised on the individual course pages.

Tuition Fees for places deferred to 2025/26

Students who choose to defer their place will be required to pay the Tuition Fee in place for their course in the academic year in which they start. Students who defer their place to 2025/26 will therefore be required to pay the tuition fees in place for that academic year.

EU, EEA and Swiss Nationals eligible for Home (UK) tuition fees

From 1 August 2021, EU, other EEA and Swiss nationals and their family members who

are not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement are no longer eligible for home fee

status, undergraduate and postgraduate financial support, and advanced learner loans

from Student Finance England, for courses starting in academic year 2021/22 or after. These students will be subject to Overseas / International student tuition fees.

However, these eligibility changes do not apply to Irish citizens living in the UK or Ireland whose right to study and to access benefits and services are preserved on a reciprocal basis for British and Irish citizens under the Common Travel Area arrangement.

These eligibility changes also do not apply to EU, other EEA and Swiss nationals, and their family members, who are covered by the citizens’ rights provisions, and who have been granted settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme. These students are eligible for support on broadly the same basis as prior to 1 August 2021, subject to meeting the usual residency requirements.

Year on Year undergraduate / postgraduate tuition fee increases for 2024/25 new entrants, and continuing students who started in 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24

The University reserves the right to increase all full-time and part-time undergraduate, postgraduate, and PGCE tuition fees each year during the programme of study.

The year on year tuition fees for courses which are set in line with the maximum Government tuition fee cap will rise in line with any subsequent inflationary increase in the Government tuition fee cap approved by Parliament. The University will publish information about the level of any inflationary increase on its website following a Government announcement.

The year on year tuition fees for all other undergraduate and postgraduate courses where the UK Government does not set the fee will rise each year during the programme of study in line with RPI September 2023.

Overseas / International Tuition Fees

Undergraduate / PGCE tuition fees for international students are not set by the UK Government. The University’s 2024/25 tuition fees for international students will be published on each course webpage.

EU, EEA and Swiss Nationals not eligible for Home (UK) tuition fees

From 1 August 2021, EU, other EEA and Swiss nationals and their family members who are not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement are no longer eligible for home fee status, undergraduate and postgraduate financial support and advanced learner loans from Student Finance England, for courses starting in academic year 2021/22 or after.

For new entrants in 2024/25, tuition fees for EU, EEA and Swiss nationals who are not eligible for Home (UK) tuition fees, will be in line with the University’s published Overseas tuition fees for international students. The University’s 2024/25 Overseas tuition fees for international students will be published on each course webpage once finalised.

Tuition Fees for places deferred to 2025/26

Students who choose to defer their place will be required to pay the Tuition Fee in place for their course in the academic year in which they start. Students who defer their place to 2025/26 will therefore be required to pay the tuition fees in place for that academic year.

The University reserves the right to increase all full-time and part-time undergraduate, postgraduate, and PGCE tuition fees each year during the programme of study.

Your financial obligation (all students)

As a student of the University, you are responsible for the payment of your tuition fees for each year of your course, regardless of how you are funding and paying for your tuition fees. If you are planning to use a Government Tuition Fee loan to fund your tuition fees then you are strongly advised to apply to the Student Loans Company as soon as possible to ensure your funding is in place for the start of your course. If you’ve entered into a licence agreement to stay in University accommodation or a Homestay arrangement, you are also responsible for the payment of your accommodation fees under the terms of your agreement.

If you decide to take a break from your studies or leave the University early, it is likely that you will still need to pay some, or all, of your tuition and accommodation fees. For further information, please view our changes to study page and for further advice please contact a Student Support Adviser.
