°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼

The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ will charge undergraduate home tuition fees (students from UK/Northern Ireland) at the upper limit as set by the UK Government for the relevant academic year.

Following the published on Monday 4 November 2024, and subject to the passing of relevant secondary legislation, the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ home tuition fees for 2025/26 entry will be:

• Bachelors Degree programmes - £9,535 per year for 2025/26 then fixed per year at this fee for the standard duration of your course.
• Integrated Foundation Degree programmes (lab-based subjects) - £9,535 per year for 2025/26 then fixed per year at this fee for the standard duration of your course.
• Integrated Foundation Degree programmes (non-lab-based subjects) - £5,760 for 2025/26 then rising to £9,535 per year for the standard duration of your Bachelors level study.

You can apply for a government tuition fee loan to cover the cost of your degree. If you’re eligible for funding through Student Finance authorities – which most UK students will be – you don’t have to pay any tuition fees upfront. .

The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ offers a range of scholarships and bursaries to help you fund your time at university.

UK students can get government loans to help towards their living costs, known as ‘maintenance loans’. If you choose to take out both a fees loan and a maintenance loan, these will be rolled together and repaid only after graduation through the tax system, as a proportion of your income over £25,000.

You may be eligible for other grants and bursaries, depending on your circumstances. For example, there is additional support for: 

•  
•  
• (for example, an adult you care for) 
• .

If you spend a full academic year studying abroad or working on a placement as part of your degree, you’ll only pay partial tuition during the year away from Reading. This is currently set at 15% of the normal tuition fee and applies to home and international students.

You’ll still need to budget for local living costs (such as accommodation, food, travel, visa fees and medical insurance), which may be more expensive if you spend the year abroad. Home-fee students can apply to be considered for a placement bursary to help with expenses. 

This applies only to situations where the full year is spent abroad or on placement. Where only a part of the year is spent abroad or on placement, the full tuition fee is payable to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ as normal.

The Reading Bursary is worth up to £1,100 and will be given in the form of a cash bursary or a partial fee reduction. It is available for enrolled, eligible full-time undergraduate students from England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland whose household income falls below £27,000.

New requirements will come into operation starting in 2024-25.
