As part of the University’s commitment to widening access at postgraduate level, some applicants are exempt from paying the application fee.
You do not need to pay an application fee or complete a fee waiver form if you are a national from our list of eligible countries below and you have lived there since birth. If you’re an applicant and are interested in further information related to application waiver you should contact the relevant programme.
Please note: The UK government has announced a ‘visa brake’ on new student visa applications from nationals of Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan. For more information, please see the Postgraduate Admissions Office’s Visa Brake advice page.
