Undergraduate tuition fees 2023-24

This document applies to you if you are intending to apply to Cambridge to commence studies in
2023-24.

1. Colleges collect all fees on behalf of the University.

2. In order to know which fee you will be charged, the College will look at:

a. Your fee status (expressed as either home or international)

Fee status depends on both nationality and residency. Further guidance will be available but, in
short, if you are a UK national and have been resident in the UK for the last three years up until 1
September before the course starts, you are likely to have home fee status. Otherwise, you are
likely to have international fee status, but please note there are a number of exceptions to the
rules: you will normally need to provide further information about your family history, parental
employment, your education and your recent residence to enable a decision to be made.

b. Your previous highest qualification at the point of matriculation

This only needs to be considered if you are a home student, and will dictate whether or not you
(a) should be charged the regulated fee - which is the fee which the University is permitted to
charge by the government - and (b) can access tuition fee loans through Student Finance England.
If you already have a first degree or equivalent, you normally are not eligible for tuition fee loans,
and are subject to paying the fees listed under the Second UG degree column in the table on page
2 and the separate College Fee (as indicated by the [4] footnote in the table), except if you will be
studying medicine, veterinary medicine or architecture.

3. If you are categorised by your College as a home student, and you will be studying your first
undergraduate degree, your tuition fee will be expressed as a single amount (that the University
and the Colleges share). This also applies if you are a home student under 2(b) above studying
architecture, medicine or veterinary medicine.

Otherwise, your tuition fee will be expressed in your formal offer as two separate amounts, which
correspond to a University fee and a College fee. The precise amount of the fees will depend on
both your course and your College, as outlined in the table overleaf.

Version 2022-1: This document was last reviewed by the University and the Colleges in September 2022. It is expected that the
next version of this document (for fees for 2024-25) will be agreed and published no later than 1 October 2023.

[1] In Mathematics, and some of the Engineering and Natural Sciences subjects, you may continue onto an advanced undergraduate degree leading
to a Masters qualification (M.Math, M.Eng, M.Sci). For these subjects, the course is considered continuous with the corresponding undergraduate
BA course and the corresponding annual fee continues to apply.

[2] Regulated fees for Home students: the University's ability lawfully to charge Home students less than International students depends on the
Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations 2007 and as amended. The University commits to charging fees at a level no higher than the
maximum fee loan and intends to set its fee at that maximum level. The UK Government announced that the maximum level of regulated fee for
2023-24 is £9,250.

The Universities Minister for England announced on 23 June 2020 that EU nationals (except Irish nationals living in the UK or Ireland), other EEA
and Swiss nationals will no longer be eligible for home fee status for courses starting in the academic year 2021-22. For most EU students
commencing their studies in October 2021 and after, their fee rates will be equivalent to the rates for international students.

[3] Fees will be fixed at these rates for the duration of the course

[4] For these courses you need to add on a College fee to calculate your final fee

Year Abroad:
- Home Student (First UG degree) going away from Cambridge during their course has a fee liablility 15% of the full fee
- Home Student (Second UG degree) going away from Cambridge during their course has a fee liablility of £5,835
- International Student going away from Cambridge during their course has a fee liablility of 50% of the full fee
- Students coming to Cambridge for a year, in most circumstances (i.e. student exchanges), won't be charge a direct fee, but always check with your
home institution

Additional College fees to calculate the combined fee

(Applicable to Home Students doing Second UG Degree and International Students -see footnote
[4] above)

Each of the Colleges is a separate institution, and you are required to be a member of both a
College and the University to study. College fees differ because they are set independently by
each College. You are strongly advised to view the Colleges pages in the undergraduate
prospectus and College websites to gain a full understanding of the character of each of the
Colleges as you make a decision about your application.

Magdalene College: The fees are fixed for the first three years of the course only: for fourth and subsequent years, the fee will be fixed at
the rate that applies at the beginning of the fourth year of study.
The fee from 2020-21 for students who matriculated in 2017-18 is £8,940.
The fee from 2021-22 for students who matriculated in 2018-19 is £9,387.
The fee from 2022-23 for students who matriculated in 2019-20 is £9,855.
The fee from 2023-24 for students who matriculated in 2020-21 is £10,347.

Trinity College: Fees are not fixed for the duration of the course and are set annually [this will be not more than the RPI rate of inflation
plus 1%]. In addition, please note the full tuition fee for 2023-24 is £15,901, but all students are awarded a bursary, which varies
depending on their year of admission (35% fee bursary for students admitted 2023-24, 2022-23, and 2021-22; 40% fee bursary for students
admitted 2020-21; 45% fee bursary for all other students). New entrants in 2023-24 will therefore pay £10,336.

Terms and conditions for fees fixed for the duration of the course

a) Where fees are fixed for the duration of the course, these are the fees agreed at the point of
admission for the relevant course, or for part of the course as specified elsewhere.

b) Where students change their course for one or more years of their degree, and the new
course is listed in a different Fee Group , they will instead be charged for those years the fee for
that Group as stated for the year of commencement of their first year of the B.A. degree.

c) Students who intermit (irrespective of the period of intermission or the number of

intermission periods) will remain subject to the fee or fees that were in place at the point of
admission for the relevant course, except for students who intermit continuously more than six
terms, who will instead be charged at the new fee rates that apply at the time of their return: any
associated extension to the duration of the course will be charged at those new rates.

d) Continuing as an undergraduate student beyond the initially-agreed length of the course will
be charged at the fees rates that apply at the beginning of the agreed extended period for the
remainder of the course for a fixed period of three years. Further periods of extensions and fees
applicable will be reviewed at that point.
