Fees for new students starting full or part-time postgraduate research courses in the 2026/27 academic year.


Factsheet

VR³ÉÈËÊÓÆµ these fees

These fees are for new students starting in the 2026/27 academic year only. Tuition fees are liable to increase annually for all VR³ÉÈËÊÓÆµ students.

For standard PhD courses, you can choose to pursue your PhD full time or part time. If you want to study part time, you can choose between three full-time equivalent (FTE) modes of study. All other part-time doctoral programmes are only available as 0.5 FTE.

Annual fee increases

Once you have started your studies, you should budget for an increase of up to 8% each year for every further year of study; we will not increase your fees each year by more than this percentage. The amount you need to pay will be set out when you re-register with the University at the beginning of each academic year.

If you want to know the specific tuition fees for your course before you re-register, contact Student Finance at stu-fin@bath.ac.uk

If you defer your entry, you will pay the fees for the year that you start your course and these may be more than 8% higher than the previous year.
