All postgraduate taught courses have an annual fee that covers all academic-related costs, such as teaching and supervision, use of the library and computing facilities, examinations and administration. You’ll also need to take into account your living costs.

The amount you pay depends on whether you're a UK resident, or live outside the UK.

The fees for both Home/UK and EU/International students starting their course in 2024/5 are available on course finder.

Alumni discounts

Royal Holloway graduates who apply for a postgraduate course automatically receive a 15% discount on tuition fees for the first year of study. There is no need to apply.

If you have graduated from another University of London institution you can receive a 10% discount on tuition fees (exemptions apply, see our scholarships terms and conditions).

Instalment plans

If you’re paying tuition fees yourself and are not applying for support and loans for fees via Student Finance England or Student Finance Services, you can opt to pay your fees in two equal instalments.

You need to pay at least 50% of the fee by enrolment in the first term. The second payment is then required during the first week of the second term, in January.

If you have an approved postgraduate loan you can pay in instalments that match your loan payments. For more information see our postgraduate information on Student Finance
