You will study alongside other students who will go onto different degree courses. We make sure that the content is relevant to all of the available degree routes, but you will also benefit from learning more broadly outside of your chosen specialism. International tuition fees are £14,000 per year, home/UK fees are £9,790 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is required for admission.
