Home student status typically applies to persons ordinarily resident in the UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and to nationals of the EU and Overseas Territories. Nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland may often qualify for Home status or other financial support. Please contact the Admissions Assistant for your proposed degree programme. You may also find it useful to look at our Accommodation fees to help you to budget for your living expenses during your studies.
Entry to many Buckingham programmes is possible in January, July and September.

| 1 This illustration is based on a home student starting an undergraduate 8-term degree in September 2012 (many September start courses at Buckingham last for 9-terms. There is no additional tuition fee but there will be an extra term of living costs for which a pro-rata loan is available from the Student Loan Company). 2 This is an estimate of living costs – the major element is the cost of accommodation. 3 This table is for comparison only. It is likely that tuition fees will rise in line with inflation. |
