Studying part time
Part-time fees are calculated pro-rata. This means that the annual fee is calculated by taking the cost of the equivalent full-time course and dividing it by the number of years you take to complete the course. For example, a student studying an MA degree part-time for two years may expect to pay £5,137.50 per year (where the full-time option costs £10,275 for one year).

Fee deposit policy
If you are a new international student applying for a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate programme, you are required to pay a fee deposit before receiving your unconditional offer or Confirmation of Acceptance for Study (CAS). Graduating students wishing to progress to a further course of study at the University of Cumbria will also pay a deposit.
If you are a new international student, you will pay a deposit of £3500 minimum.
Pre-sessional programmes and your deposit
If you are required to attend a pre-sessional course, you will need to pay the full fee for the pre-sessional course in addition to the deposit which is part payment of the substantive programme fee. The university will not issue the unconditional offer or CAS until both the deposit and full pre-sessional fees are paid.
If a student on the 11-week pre-sessional fails to progress on academic grounds, the full deposit for the substantive programme will be repaid.
If a student on either the five-week or 11-week pre-sessional fails to progress as a result of non-attendance, poor attendance or lack of effort, the deposit for the substantive programme will not be repaid.
Refund of deposits
A refund of the deposits will be considered only where a student has been refused a visa for other than fraudulent reasons. Students may apply for a refund by sending copies of the official visa refusal notification from the British embassy or High commission, together with passport details. The university reserves the right to verify details with the embassy or High commission.
Where the university decides to make a refund of the deposit, this will be refunded in pounds sterling to the person who originally made the payment. The university will transfer the deposit in the most cost-effective way but will not be liable for any bank charges involved in the money transfer. Refunds will not be made if the refusal or a CAS withdrawal is on the grounds of fraudulent activity by the student, or due to failure to disclose full details in the application.
No refund will be made if the student fails to attend at the start of the programme or withdraws after the start of the programme.
It is important that you plan your finances carefully when considering coming to the UK to study. You should ensure that you have sufficient money to cover your tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses for each year of study before you make your application.
To help you plan the amount of money you will need for tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses, and to help you manage your money once you are in the UK, you may find the online UNIAID International Student Calculator a useful tool when making your calculations.
We recommend that you budget approximately £5,500 for an academic year in the UK.
