Fees in subsequent years of study
How are your tuition fees likely to increase if your course lasts for more that one year?
Lancaster University, like other Universities, may increase the fee for your programme in each year after your first year of study.
To give you clarity we set out what those increases will be, usually as a guaranteed maximum percentage increase.
In some cases the fee increase after your first year of study is determined by, or in relation to, an external body. In that case we will tell you what that increase was for the last year and what the average increase was over a period of time, in order that you can make an informed decision about possible future fee increases.
The information below sets out for students commencing study in the year stated, how their fee will change in subsequent years of study. These changes apply to all full-time and part-time, on campus, online and blended programmes.
These changes do not relate to programmes delivered by UA92 and you should refer to the relevant pages of the UA92 website for details.

Undergraduate students
For home students, tuition fees will remain at £9250 for each year of study.
For international students, tuition fees will not rise by more than 4% per annum over the standard time required to complete your programme.
For island students (those from The Channel Islands and The Isle of Man), tuition fees are linked by the University to the standard fee for Home undergraduates plus an additional amount for students studying lab-based sciences or medicine to cover the funding the university would normally receive from OfS for a Home student. Future rises will therefore reflect rises for undergraduate Home students (see above) and any changes made to the Office for Students funding model.

Postgraduate taught students
Tuition fees for postgraduate taught students will not rise by more than 4% per annum over the standard time required to complete your programme.
-
Postgraduate research students
For home students and island students (those from The Channel Islands and The Isle of Man), increases to tuition fees are linked to the annual level set by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Last year the increase was 2% and the average change over the last 5 years has been 2%.
Further information on past maintenance rates and fees can be found on the UKRI website.
For international students tuition fees will increase by no more than 2.5% per annum over the standard time required to complete your programme.
