Full-time undergraduate programmes - with low fees, you will have less debt!
Tuition fees
 |
At Ulster not only will you graduate with an excellent academic degree, and a well-rounded student experience, but you will also have less debt. Check out our fees below for Northern Ireland, GB and EU/ROI students.
You can defer payment of these fees until after you graduate by taking out a tuition fees loan. There is also financial support for living expenses from the government and the University. The different types of fees and support are explained below:
NI students
Tuition Fees for 2012/13: £3,465 per annum
Help is at hand
- Tuition Fees Loan (not means-tested). You can take out a Tuition Fees Loan annually to cover all or part of your fees. The Loan is available to all students and is not means-tested. You do not have to pay this back until you have graduated and are earning over a certain level of salary in full-time employment (currently £15,795 per annum)
- Student Maintenance Loans (means-tested). These loans are available for living costs such as rent, food, travel and course materials. As this loan is means-tested, students will receive different amounts. The maintenance loan, like the Tuition Fees Loan, is repayable after you leave University and are earning above a certain level of income (currently £15,795).
- Grants (means-tested – do not have to be paid back). Grants are available from the government to help meet the cost of going to University. Grants are also means-tested, but unlike loans, do not have to be paid back.
- Ulster Bursaries (means-tested – do not have to be paid back). Bursaries help you meet the costs associated with your course. Generally speaking students who receive a government grant will also receive a bursary.
