Continuing study beyond annual tuition fees 2023-2024

Fees for continuing your study beyond the period for annual tuition fees.

PhD and MPhil students

If you continue study beyond the period for which annual fees are payable, you need to pay:

  • an annual matriculation fee in the following academic year 
  • a continuation fee for every authorised extension until you submit your thesis

Continuation fees are charged proportionally for the full period of an approved extension. 

Students who secure a college approved extension related to Covid-19 will not be charged a continuation fee for the 23-24 academic session.   If you require a refund for any fees that have already been paid, please contact the Finance Helpline.

The University will carry out a full Equality Impact Assessment on the COVID-19 continuation fee waiver and will put a plan in place for extension requests for 2024-25.  We will complete this work by the spring in order to allow time both for consultation and for you to plan for the next academic year.

If you are eligible for the continuation fee waiver and need your CAS letter issued more quickly, please contact the Student Immigration Service, which will escalate your case.

Please contact us for further information.
