Funding Your Studies
On this page
Helping you invest in your future
Postgraduate study is an exciting investment in your future and we’re here to help you make it manageable. At Newcastle University, you’ll find a wide range of funding options, including scholarships and bursaries.
This guide will help you explore your options and access the support you need to fund your studies with confidence.
Tuition fees
You'll find full details of expected fees on
each course page
. This will be detailed in the Fees and Funding section.
The fee amount reflects the cost of one year. Longer courses will have
additional
fees. Some courses involve intensive laboratory, clinical or fieldwork so may have higher fees.
Key dates
Home students registering for an eligible taught postgraduate course with a September start date can pay for their annual tuition fees in six installments.
International students and research students need to pay half of their annual tuition fees to register at the university in September. The second half of your fees will be due in the following January.
Tuition fees are usually payable for each year of your study. If you begin your studies mid-year, you will only pay the proportion of your tuition fee due to cover the period to the end of the academic year.
If your course lasts longer than an academic year, the fee due in the following September will normally be higher than in the previous year, due to an inflationary increase.
How to pay
We want to protect you by making sure you don't take unnecessary risks with your money. Therefore we do not accept cash as payments. We offer you many other payment options by safer and more secure means.
University tuition fees are not subject to exchange control regulations for Chinese students.
Find out more about tuition fee payment methods
Assessing your fee status
You may be unsure if you have home or international fee status.
The
UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA)
provides guidance on who is eligible for home fees.
We will assess your fee status using the information in your postgraduate application. In some cases, we may ask you to complete a fees assessment questionnaire and send us extra documents. Confirmation of our assessment of your fees status will be in your offer letter.
International and EU students
Depending on your residency history, if you’re a student from the EU, other EEA or a Swiss national, with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you’ll normally pay the ‘Home’ tuition fee rate and may be eligible for Student Finance England support.
EU students without settled or pre-settled status will normally be charged fees at the ‘International’ rate and will not be eligible for Student Finance England support.
You will however be eligible for a
scholarship worth 15% off the international fee
.
Part-time fees for international students do not apply as your student visa requires you to study full time. There are occasional exceptions to this.
We support our EU and international students by providing a generous range of Vice-Chancellor's automatic and merit-based scholarships. See
our
searchable postgraduate funding page
for more information.
Check your fee status
Tuition fee discounts
We offer the following tuition fee discount schemes:
20% Graduate Discount for all eligible Newcastle University graduates
2% tuition fee discount if you pay your annual tuition fees in full before or by the end of registration week
10% International Family Discount available for close relatives of our international students
Other funding awards can cover the cost of tuition fees.

Types of funding
The following types of funding provide you with financial support which you do not have to pay back. However, you must meet their eligibility criteria.
International and EU scholarships
We support our EU and international students by providing a generous range of Vice-Chancellor's automatic and merit-based scholarships.
We also participate in a number of prestigious scholarship schemes such as Commonwealth and Fulbright, and jointly with these schemes offer some full scholarships.
See
our
searchable postgraduate funding page
for more information.
Research studentships
Studentships are funding for PhD programmes. They may cover your tuition fees, a living allowance (called a stipend) and contribution towards your travel and fieldwork expenses.
Studentships may be funded by:
the University
charities
commercial organisations
a UK research council
Search our
funding database
for studentships that are currently available.
Masters' scholarships
These are normally based on academic merit or specific eligibility criteria such as the course you are applying for.
They can be fully or partially funded.
Awards, prizes and bursaries
These are typically provided to help fund some of the additional costs associated with studying.
A variety of organisations, including charities and trusts offer bursaries and awards.
Part time and vacation work
You might find it helpful to take on part-time work during the academic year as well as during the vacations, to help fund your studies.
Our
Careers Service
advertises part time, temporary and vacation positions.
Finding funding
You have several options to look at in terms of securing funding for your study including:
Course profiles
Our
course profile pages
include details about typical funding sources for your prospective course.
Portfolio funding
You may also like to consider portfolio funding. This is when you build up your funding from different sources such as; bursaries, charities and trusts, loans and part-time work.

We understand that sometimes unforeseen financial difficulties occur.
If your situation could prevent you from continuing to study, discretionary financial support may be available.
