Home (UK) Tuition Fees

Standard undergraduate degree, PGCE and Postgraduate Pre-registration health courses

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

The Government has recently announced that it will increase the maximum tuition fee cap for 2026/27 by 2.71%, making the maximum tuition fee for 2026/27 £9,790. The University intends to increase our tuition fees in line with this increase and as per our terms and conditions. This means that from August 2026 onwards, our undergraduate home tuition fees for 2026/27 will be set at the standard undergraduate maximum tuition fee cap of £9,790. Tuition fees for subsequent academic years will be charged at the maximum tuition fee cap as approved by the Government for each academic year.

Tuition fees for all courses are payable on an annual basis, except where stated. These increases will apply to new entrants and continuing students.

Foundation Year 0 - undergraduate degrees with a Foundation Year

Home (UK) tuition fees for Foundation Years at Canterbury Christ Church University will be set in line with the maximum tuition fee cap for foundation years in either classroom-based subjects or non-classroom-based subjects, as set by the UK Government. The maximum tuition fee cap for classroom-based subjects for 2026/27 will be £5,760 and for non-classroom-based subjects the maximum tuition fee cap is £9,790. Tuition fees for Foundation Years in future academic years will be charged at the maximum tuition fee caps as approved by the Government for each academic year.

For subsequent years 1-3, Home (UK) tuition fees will be set in line with the maximum tuition fee cap for standard undergraduate degrees set by the UK Government for each academic year.

Tuition Fees for places deferred to 2027/28

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 2027/28 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 are 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 2026/27 new entrants, and continuing students who started in 2025/26 or prior years

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 2025. The tuition fees for standard MPhil / PhD courses will be set in line with tuition fees as set by the UKRI.

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.
