Full-time home undergraduate tuition fees are £9,790 for 2026/27 and £10,050 for 2027/28. International and postgraduate fees vary by programme, so check York’s fees and funding information and your course page. Placement and study-abroad years may have reduced charges. Allow separately for accommodation, everyday living expenses and any additional costs associated with your course.

For 2027/28, the York Bursary offers eligible home undergraduates £1,000 per year of study for household incomes within the published £0–£35,000 band. Eligibility depends on your circumstances and the scheme’s conditions. Make sure your student funding provider can share your household income assessment with the university. Other UK funding opportunities and international scholarships have separate criteria, so check the information for your entry year.
