Paying your tuition fees
We charge tuition fees for every year that your course lasts. How much you pay depend on a number of factors, including:
- Your fee status (Home or Overseas)
- Your course or department
- The year you started your course at Imperial
- What financial support you may be eligible for towards your fees
Home fees
The UK government sets the maximum Home fee that universities can charge each year.
In November 2025, the government confirmed the Home tuition fee levels for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 academic years:
- 2026–27 academic year: Maximum fee for standard full-time courses will be £9,790 per year.
- 2027–28 academic year: Maximum fee for standard full-time courses will increase to £10,050 per year.
- Work placement year (sandwich year): Up to 20% of the maximum standard full-time fee.
- Overseas study year or Turing year: Up to 15% of the maximum standard full-time fee.
The tuition fee loan, which will be known as the Lifelong Learning Entitlement from 2027, will continue to cover 100% of the tuition fee.
Overseas fees
The tuition fee for Overseas students is set by Imperial and is available on our course pages.
