Additional expenses

As well as fees and travel costs, you should expect certain other study-related expenses.

Books and apparatus

You are advised to consult your lecturers before purchasing textbooks, instruments or apparatus. Expenditure on books will vary, according to the requirements of the programme.

Field courses

Attendance at field courses is obligatory for students reading for first degrees in:

• biological sciences
• geography
• geology

Students following programmes that include the history of art are expected to spend some time visiting museums and monuments. Expenses consist mainly of travelling and maintenance costs.

Ask for details at your interview or on application to the relevant department or school.

Students who experience hardship in meeting the travel costs of essential fieldwork or study visits should apply through the Head of their academic school or department for assistance with those costs, or see our financial support information for advice.
