This money matters guide outlines the tuition fees and financial support arrangements for UK students joining part-time undergraduate degrees (BA/BSc/LLB), part-time integrated Masters degrees (MComp/MNSW/MSci) and part-time foundation degrees (FdA/FdSc). This guide is for those joining Edge Hill University between August 2024 and July 2025.
On this page you can find out what student funding you may qualify for and how to apply for it. We encourage you to explore all potential sources of additional funding to maximise payment support.
Exceptions may apply if you have enrolled on previous higher education study (at level 4 or level 5). This applies if you didn’t achieve a qualification, or if the course you are joining is of an equivalent or lower level to a previous qualification.

Part-time undergraduate degree tuition fees
If you are a prospective UK student joining a part-time undergraduate degree or integrated Masters degree at Edge Hill University between August 2024 and July 2025, the tuition fee will be £77 per credit (subject to final Government approval). This is equivalent to £1,540 per 20 credit module. You need 360 credits to complete an undergraduate degree and 480 credits to complete an integrated Masters degree.
If you are a prospective UK student joining FdA Early Years Education and Leadership between August 2024 and July 2025, the tuition fee will be £6,165 a year. From September 2025, the tuition fee will be £7,145 a year.
The University may administer a small inflationary rise in tuition fees as you progress through the course. This will be in line with Government policies.
Eligible students will not pay up front for their tuition and can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to cover the cost of the course fees. This is providing at least 25% of the equivalent part-time degree is being studied per year.
