PGCE fees
Tuition fees for PGCE students
Our tuition fees vary according to the type of degree programme you study, your mode of study and where you study. Fees specific to each course are listed on the individual course pages, however this page will give you an overview of costs for our range of PGCE courses.
Tuition fees are chargeable for the academic period required by the programme, with annual amounts charged for each academic year of the programme unless otherwise stated.
It is to be expected that tuition fees will rise by a modest amount, for the duration of study. This is to take into account inflationary pressures.
Tuition fees may vary depending on the programme of study and attendance. Information regarding tuition fee amounts is also displayed during online registration.
When to pay
Whichever payment method you use, you can pay the full amount online for the upcoming year in one go. The due date for payment in full is before registration or by 18 September.
Instalment options
One instalment
If you'd like to pay your fees in full, payment is due by 18 September. Alternatively, if you are just paying for tuition fees, you can select 'pay now' at registration and make full payment then.
Three instalments
Three instalments are available to pay tuition fees, for UK and returning International students:
- 15 October 2024
- 7 January 2025
- 22 April 2025
Accommodation instalments
If you're staying in University accommodation, your accommodation licence fee is due by 15 October.
All students can pay their accommodation fees in 3 or 8 instalments. Students who are using maintenance loan payments to help with payment of accommodation fees are advised to select 3 instalments. The 3 instalment dates are arranged to coincide with or be just after the date you receive your maintenance loan payments.
We can allow up to 8 months for payment of accommodation charges, but this is not recommended for students paying from their maintenance loans. To choose this option, please select the 3 instalment option and email fees@bathspa.ac.uk to let us know your preference for 8 instalments. We can then make the adjustment to the payment plan.
Please note: if you leave your studies before the first payment date, you'll be liable to pay the accommodation fee according to the terms of your licence.
