About these fees
These fees are for new students starting in the 2027/28 academic year only. Tuition fees are liable to increase annually for all Â鶹´«Ã½ students.
For standard PhD courses, you can choose to pursue your PhD full time or part time. If you want to study part time, you can choose between three full-time equivalent (FTE) modes of study. All other part-time doctoral programmes are only available as 0.5 FTE.
Annual fee increases
Once you have started your studies, you should budget for an increase of up to 8% each year for every further year of study; we will not increase your fees each year by more than this percentage. The amount you need to pay will be set out when you re-register with the University at the beginning of each academic year.
If you want to know the specific tuition fees for your course before you re-register, contact Student Finance at stu-fin@bath.ac.uk
If you defer your entry, you will pay the fees for the year that you start your course and these may be more than 8% higher than the previous year.
