Studying in the UK is one of the most significant financial investments you will make in your lifetime. Therefore we strive to offer you the best value for your money by providing some of the lowest course fees and living costs of any University, by being based in the friendly town of Bolton, Greater Manchester.
We are happy to confirm that fees for international students have been frozen for 2020 (same level of fees as the 2019 academic year). This means that students beginning bachelor's or master's programmes with us from January or September 2020 onwards, will still only pay £12,450 per annum (excluding a small number of courses). You can see the fee information for all our programmes in the course profile. The course finder function is available here.
The tuition fees for Postgraduate research programmes (PhD/MPhil) can also be found at our Research and Graduate School website.
If you are unsure what the cost of your prospective course is, or have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in contact by emailing international@bolton.ac.uk
The University of Bolton is always striving to build upon the strong international community that is already enjoying Bolton life.
To assist future international students, we are proud to announce a number of new International Excellence Scholarships available to full-time self-paying students* joining bachelors, taught masters and research masters study (for January or September 2020).
The maximum level scholarship extends to £5,000 for the duration of 3-year bachelors study and £3,000 for 1 year/18 months masters/PhD study. As a sign of our continued commitment to a globally inclusive campus, all full-time self-paying international students will be eligible to be considered for the Bronze scholarship.
The level of the International Excellence Scholarships is broken down into three bands (Gold, Silver and Bronze) based on the academic ability of the applicant.
*Sponsored students will not be eligible for this scholarship.
*The scholarship entitlement for year 2 and year 3 will be subject to passing all modules in the preceding year
Band Criteria:
Gold – Students with a top quartile (25%) mark in their entry qualification
Silver – Students with a top half (50%) mark in their entry qualification
Bronze – Most international students will be eligible*
*Final assessment of scholarship eligibility will be made by the international office and are made at the discretion of the University. The relevant amount of scholarship will be deducted at point of payment i.e. you will pay the tuition fee minus the scholarship amount. Sponsored students will not be eligible for this scholarship.
These scholarships shall extend to courses starting in January and September 2020. There is no separate application form requirement. International students will be automatically assessed for these scholarships at point of application. The deadline for being considered for these scholarships will follow the same admissions deadlines.
If you wish to know the criteria for a country specific qualification, then please get in touch with the International Team via email: international@bolton.ac.uk.
International students are eligible to qualify for the Alumni Scholarship Discount if they have previously studied at the University of Bolton. This entitles the award-holder for a £1,000 fee waiver if they meet our criteria. The award is confirmed for both the 2019/20 and the 2020/21 academic year.
