Fees and funding

You need to budget for the following when you come to Kingston:

  • tuition fees – these will vary according to the course you are studying
  • the cost of accommodation – either halls of residence or private rented accommodation (in which case you should expect to pay at least £4,000–£4,600 per year)
  • living expenses, such as food, travel, laundry and entertainment – we suggest you plan to spend approximately £6,000–£9,000 per year
  • English language tuition fees if you want to study English in the UK before you begin your course
