International tuition fees

Queen's offers lower tuition fees and living expenses than many other similarly well-regarded universities in the United Kingdom. The fees you will pay will vary depending on the course you choose and the level of study.

Check Course pages for specific International fees for each course

The tuition fees payable by international students are based on the student's first year of registration and are listed below for undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research students. Exceptions to the standard fees are listed separately.

EU Other students (excludes Republic of Ireland nationals living in GB, NI or ROI) will be charged tuition fees in line with international fees.

Fee Rate 1 (FR1): Courses which are essentially classroom based- typically Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
Fee Rate 2 (FR2): Courses with a substantial laboratory or workshop component - typically Engineering and Physical Sciences and Medicine, Heath and Life Sciences 
Fee Rate 3 (FR3): Pre-Clinical elements of medical courses
Fee Rate 4 (FR4): Clinical elements of medical courses

    Please see full details on the Pay your Tuition Fees page.

  • Tuition Fee Liability for Student Withdrawals

    Full-time Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Students

    The date when a student withdraws will affect the level of tuition fees which may be refunded.  Adjustments to tuition fees are calculated with reference to the date of a student's withdrawal from the University, not the last date of attendance. The table below demonstrates how tuition fees are calculated in respect of a withdrawal;


    Withdrawal Policy

    Attendance/SLC Liability Point Normal Effective Period Fees due to the University 
    First Liability Date - Completion of Enrolment and Registration (non-refundable unless the student cancels the contract in accordance with the Terms and Conditions for 2022 entry)  up to 9 January 2024  25%
     Second Liability Date 10 January 2024- 8 April 2024  50%
    Third Liability Date 9 April 2024 onwards  100%

    Part-time Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Students

    Fees for part-time students are calculated by semester.  Further details of the withdrawal and module drop policy, for part-time students, are outlined in Section 4.4.2 of the Student Finance Framework.

    Postgraduate Research Students

    The tuition fee liability for a Postgraduate Research student withdrawal, or a temporary leave of absence, is based on the official date of withdrawal in the academic year, and a refund will be issued, if appropriate.  The tuition fee is calculated for a month if a student is deemed to be in attendance on, or after, the 5th of that month.

    For further information, please refer to the Student Finance Framework.
