Undergraduate tuition fees 2020-21

This document applies to you if you are intending to apply to Cambridge to commence studies in
2020-21.
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/EU or international)
Fee status depends on both nationality and residency. Further guidance is available but, in short,
if you are a UK or EU national and have been resident in the UK or EU for the last three years up
until 1 September before the course starts, you are likely to have home/EU 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/EU student, and will dictate whether or not
you (a) should be charged the regulated fee - which is the fee which the University is permitted tocharge 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/EU student, and you will be studying yourfirst undergraduate degree, your tuition fee will be expressed as a single amount (that theUniversity and the Colleges share). This also applies if you are a home/EU 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, whichcorrespond 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.

21,16821,16855,272[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/EU students: the University's ability lawfully to charge Home/EU students less than International
students depends on the Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations 2007 and as amended. The University commits tocharging fees at a level no higher than the maximum fee loan and intends to set its fee at that maximum level. The UK Government
has confirmed a level of £9,250 for 2020-21, and there is currently no information for the annual level for future years of thecourse.
EU nationals: the University also confirms that students who qualify for the regulated fee (as defined in the legislation above) in
2020-21 will continue to be eligible for the regulated fee for the full duration of their course.
[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/EU Student (First UG degree) going away from Cambridge during their course has a fee liablility 15% of the full fee- Home/EU Student (Second UG degree) going away from Cambridge during their course has a fee liablility of £5,340- 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
