    The tuition fee for the course that is stated on the course webpage and in the prospectus will apply. If the duration of the course is longer than one academic year, we may increase the fee for each subsequent year of study but any such increases will be no more than inflation.

We will act in accordance with the UK’s laws in force in relation to student tuition fees and finance from time to time.
