Withdrawing - postgraduate taught
- Annual tuition fees are based on 12 months of study in one academic year and a partially completed month is treated as a full month for the fee liability calculation
- If a student withdraws within 14 days of the course start date the fee liability is nil
- If a student withdraws within the first 7 months of study then the fee liability is determined as a proportion of the annual tuition fee based on number of months in attendance prior to withdrawal as a proportion of the number of months in an academic year
- After the first 7 months of study the fee liability is 100% of the annual tuition fee
| Example – a student permanently withdraws from their studies within 7 months |
