Additional Costs for Creative Degree Programmes:
When planning your studies, it’;s important to consider potential additional costs beyond tuition fees. While tuition fees cover teaching, assessment, and access to College facilities such as studios, workshops, libraries, shared IT resources, and support services, some courses may require additional investment in materials, equipment, or activities.
· Textbooks: Key texts are available in our libraries, but you may choose to purchase personal copies for convenience.
· Computer Equipment: On-campus computers are available for student use, but having a personal laptop or tablet may be beneficial for flexibility and off-site study.
· Printing and Photocopying: Most coursework is submitted online, but some printed submissions may be required, along with optional binding or presentation materials.
· Materials: Creative courses may require specific art materials or equipment, and a suggested materials list will be provided upon enrolment.
· Field Trips: Some courses offer optional study visits or field trips to enhance learning.
