studying for a masters
Fees frozen until September 2026 intake
We realise that a Masters degree can feel like a significant undertaking in times of economic uncertainty. That's why we have limited our fee increase to just the UK inflation rate (3.5%) to cover rising costs — and we’re committing to keeping fees at this level until the September 2026 intake.
Bursaries and introductory fees
We are also offering a small number of bursaries for MA Create Music Production and associated MFAs, and a special introductory discount on the first intake of MA Audio Post-Production and associated MFAs. To find out more, please book a one-to-one meeting.

how payment works
Before starting your degree course, to confirm your place, you pay an initial deposit of £1,000. The rest of your course fee is then divided into equal termly instalments over the full length of your course.
You will be invoiced each term or semester and you have three months to pay. If you want to pay your whole course up front you are welcome to do so. Equally, you can pay termly, or pay the termly invoice in smaller monthly instalments. It’s entirely up to you. The longer your schedule, the less you pay each term. We don't charge interest.
Flywire offers a wide range of payment options. You are able to compare payment methods and find the one that is the most convenient and the best value for you.
Student loans
In parts of the UK you can apply for the following student loans to study for one of our Masters degrees.
- Up to £12,858 in England. More info
- Up to £19,255 in Wales. More info
- Up to £6,500 in Northern Ireland. More info
- Up to £7,000 in Scotland. More info
You will be invoiced at the beginning of each term (or semester) to coincide with your loan payments, and you will then have 30 days to pay.
We are not currently aware of student loans being available in other parts of the world, including the USA (this includes the GI Bill for veterans). However, we cannot stay up to date with every funding option for every country, so you may wish to research and see if there are any local arts councils/funds, charities and employer schemes available to you.
If you are worried about the financial or time commitment of a Masters degree, we offer a range of options to help, should the need arise.
Flexibility
You can change to a slower schedule at the end of each term. That means not only less work each week but also spreading your payments over a longer period of time.
Pause Your Course and fees
You can pause your studies completely at the end of each term until your circumstances improve.
Limited Financial Commitment
If you can no longer afford your degree, you are only committed to paying in blocks of 60 credits, the equivalent of one term full time – typically one third of your MA, or a quarter of an MFA.
