As a guide

Part-time fees vary, but are approximately 50% of the total listed fees.

Value for money

HE students at The Manchester College receive an Apple MacBook in their first year and attend an international trip in the second year. In addition, students studying on BA (honours) degree programmes that qualify for the full non-repayable Higher Education Maintenance Grant automatically receive a top-up award to the value of the difference between the fees charged and the amount of the grant. In 2009/10, this is £319.

Help with financing your studies

A number of bursaries and scholarships are available to all students studying on honours degree programmes.

There are several other sources of financial support that may be able to help you with the cost of your course and help you to achieve your potential while studying with The Manchester College.
