56,267 **The Northern Ireland Department of Health charges a mandatory clinical placement levy for all new international and EU medical students commencing study at the University. This charge is payable in each year of study to cover access to clinical placements in the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care system. The clinical placement levy of £10,000 is not included in the tuition fee quoted above and is in additional to the fee quoted above.
The University has taken the decision to pay to the Department of Health the full cost of this clinical placement levy for the first year of study (£10,000), on behalf of new international students entering Year 1 in the 2021-22 academic year. This cohort of students progressing to Year 2 in the academic year 2022-23, will be required to pay a reduced charge of £5,000, and the University will pay £5,000. The full cost of the new charge is likely to be applied from Year 3 onwards (i.e. academic year 2023-24), and students will be required to pay £10,000 in each year (Years 3, 4 and 5).

- 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 (effective from 1 August 2021)Attendance/SLC Liability Point Normal Effective Period Fees due to the University Completion of Enrolment and Registration (non-refundable)* up to 9 January 2022 25% Resumption of Autumn Semester following the Vacation Period 10 January 2022- May 2022 50% Resumption of Spring Semester following the Vacation Period 02 May 2022 onwards 100% *The non-refundable percentages of fees will increase at various points during the academic year.
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.
