Undergraduate Tuition Fees
About tuition fees
Tuition fees are set annually. The University may therefore raise tuition fees in the second or subsequent years of a course, in line with inflation and/or the maximum permitted by law or UK Government policy. Students will be notified of any changes as soon as possible.
Maximum tuition fees for UK / Home undergraduate students are set by the UK Government. It has indicated that it intends to continue increasing this cap each year, at least in line with inflation. To ensure we can continue investing in the student experience, we anticipate that, subject to approval by the Board of Governors, tuition fees at Falmouth University will reflect these annual increases for both new and returning students.
International tuition fees are set annually by the University. To maintain the high‑quality teaching, specialist facilities and dedicated support our global student community expects, these fees may increase in the second or later years of a course.
