What is the actual breakdown of the tuition fee that a UK student pays to the University each year?

The fee which students pay is a composite fee covering all aspects of the provision to students (not just a ‘cost per class’) and is based on delivery of the overall learning outcomes for students in any given programme. These are delivered and accessed in a variety of ways.

A breakdown of the University’s income and how it is spent is available on the Transparency website. A financial summary is available which shows how student tuition fees contribute to the University’s overall income.
