What you need to know

The standard annual undergraduate tuition fee for home fee-paying students starting their course in 2025 is £9,535.
The latest fee information is available on the University website. You can use the undergraduate fees lookup tool.
The fees to be charged by the University are updated on the University website and if there is any inconsistency between a print publication (such as the prospectus) and the website, the website should be taken as correct.
The University will review tuition fees each year and they may increase for each year of your study in line with inflation (RPIX), as specified by parliament.
In some circumstances, you might pay a reduced fee (for example, if you spend a year abroad).
Further information about tuition fees, including how to pay, can be found on our web pages for new students.
Loans from the government are available for eligible home fee-paying students to cover tuition fees and contribute towards living costs. Eligible students don't start repaying their loan until they're earning more than the repayment threshold.

Home or overseas fee status

In common with other UK universities, the University of Sheffield charges different tuition fees depending on whether students are classed as home or overseas for fee purposes.

Overseas fees

If you are an overseas student or are unsure whether you are classed as one, you will need to find out about your fee status.
