Fees and funding
Whatever type of course you study at the University of Leicester, finance will always be an important factor. There are costs to be met: tuition fees, course materials, accommodation, travel, living expenses. But there are also possible sources of funding: loans and grants, bursaries and scholarships. And there is always advice available, through the University and through national online resources.
