Tuition Fees

Our Tuition Fees Schedule

Tuition fees at University of Wales Trinity Saint David for Undergraduate, Postgraduate and International students have been set below. 

The cost of a university course depends on a number of things – mainly which course you choose and where you live when you apply for the course. If you live in the UK, you can apply to student finance for help with your undergraduate tuition fees and living costs. International students and those who are self-funding are able to pay in instalments. 

But don’t worry, you could also be eligible for the wide range of bursaries we offer to help our students manage the cost of uni. These include payments for the costs of travel to and from placements, study trips, printing, specialised materials and equipment, and, for some courses, a Disclosure Barring Check (DBS).
