One semester: £11,160

Study Abroad with English Language (STABEL)

Paying your fees

You can pay once you arrive. Find out how to pay your fees. 

Students who are on the STABEL programme will complete a pre-sessional course and therefore be required to pay a deposit. 

In some cases, your home institution or programme provider will pay the tuition fee on your behalf, or they may have a special agreement with us which affects your fee status.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us for further information.

Students from our partner institutions who apply to our study abroad programmes through an agent will not be eligible to obtain a fee discount.

Scholarships

Study Abroad students are often able to apply for scholarships in their home country to support their programme costs when they go abroad to study.

Some scholarships that former students have applied for are:

• BUTEX Scholarships are worth £500 and are for students studying abroad in the UK for a semester or an academic year
• German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) provides eligible German students funding towards study abroad costs
• Lånekassen provides eligible Norwegian students supplementary tuition fee grants.
