Books / course costs

The average course cost for an academic year is £250. This cost will vary depending on the course studied. Some courses (for example, art and design courses) may require additional materials or equipment. Some other courses may involve field trips. It is advisable to contact your academic school to enquire about any additional course costs that can be expected.

Don't buy every book on the reading lists, check which books will be essential and use the library as much as possible. There are always second hand books being sold in or around the University by people who have finished the course you are studying.

Carry your NUS card with you so that you can take advantage of discounts. Lots of shops offer a 10 to 15 percent discount for students.
