Partner tuition fees

Partner institutions set their own fees for full-time students studying for a Foundation Degree or HND. For specific course fees, please contact the college you intend to study with directly.

You'll have the option to top-up to a full bachelor's degree with just one further year of study. If you choose to come to University of Staffordshire to top-up you will be charged the standard annual tuition fee applicable to your chosen course.

Eligible UK students are entitled to apply for a tuition fee loan to cover the full cost of tuition fees - you will need to contact your partner college to confirm whether your course is eligible for funding.
