Tuition fees

Tuition fees are one of the main costs of studying at university. At Hartpury, your tuition fees cover a variety of costs including the teaching of lectures, tutorials and lab sessions.

The tuition fees also contribute to the running of a vibrant student community. The fee is due at the start of each academic year of your studies, but most students choose to take out a student loan to cover this cost.

All Hartpury University graduates receive a 20% discount for studying a master's course with us, and 10% from professional course fees. It's a great way to develop your specialist subject expertise and employability as part of a passionate academic community that's familiar to you.
