Fees and living costs

The fee for international students starting at HYMS in 2010 will be £22 700. This will increase annually by a percentage that takes into account factors such as inflation in the UK and other market conditions. Future fees will be agreed at least 12 months before each new annual intake and will be published here.

Living costs vary because students spend money in different ways, but as a rough guide you should budget for about £8000 per year. For further details, see:
