Fees and Funding for International Students

At the University of Cumbria, we offer affordable tuition fees for international and EU students looking to study at one of our five campuses. No matter your career path, our Finance Team is here to support you. Find out more about International fees and funding, accommodation rates, and pre-sessional courses, here.

International support packages

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students travelling to the UK from Red, Amber, and Green territories must follow certain procedures to ensure the safety of all students. As a result, the University of Cumbria has introduced support packages for students coming to study in the UK in August/September 2021.

These support packages are available for new and continuing international students enrolling on a full-time course. Some support offered includes coverage of your Managed Quarantine Facility (MQF) hotel package, UK travel, and accommodation costs. For more details, including how to apply, please visit our dedicated International Fees and Finance page.

Updates for EU, EEA & Swiss Students

The (Brexit) transition period ended on 31 December 2020; the UK has now left the European Union.

Fees for 2021/22

If you are an EU/EEA or Swiss National with Settled or Pre-Settled Status in the UK you will still be eligible to pay Home fees and have access to Student Finance England tuition loans.

If you are an EU/EEA or Swiss National living overseas you will be classified as "Overseas" for fees purposes from 1st September 2021.

The University of Cumbria wishes to support European students affected by this change in status through this transition period. We will award an (automatic) FEE REDUCTION SCHOLARSHIP to all eligible EU students starting their course with us in September 2021 or January 2022, which brings your fee into line with the fee paid by UK students. This will apply for the duration of your course.

To receive the EU fee reduction scholarship, you must meet the following eligibility criteria:

Be classified as ‘overseas’ for fees purposes.
Be an EU/EEA/Swiss national on 1 September (2021) before the start of the programme.

Fees for 2022/23

A decision on the level of fee for EU/EEA/Swiss students starting their course with us in September 2022 has not yet been made.
