The UK has voted to leave the European Union. It's not currently known how long that process will take or the impact it will have on UK policy on higher education tuition fees, loans and bursaries.
The Universities Minister for England announced on 28 May 2019 that students from the European Union starting courses in England in the 2020/21 academic year will continue to be eligible for home fee status. This allows the University of Cambridge to confirm that the fee for undergraduate EU students who are already studying at Cambridge, or who will start their studies in 2019 or 2020, will be at the applicable Home rate for the duration of their course. They will also be able to access financial support for the duration of their course.
Whichever university you apply to, you need to consider the cost of your tuition and your living (or ‘maintenance’) costs. These amounts can seem daunting but there's lots of support available to help you finance your studies.
The details in this section are for Home fee status students. EU students should regularly check for updates at: www.cam.ac.uk/eu. If you're from outside the EU, including Islands students (from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), you should check International fees and costs for details.
Tuition Fees
For Home students starting their first undergraduate degree in October 2019, the tuition fee will be £9,250 for the year for all courses (which may then increase by an inflationary rate in subsequent years). EU students eligible for Home fee status admitted in 2019 will pay the same tuition fee as UK students throughout their course.
Living Costs
'Living costs' cover whatever you need to pay for, excluding tuition fees, while you're at university – for example, accommodation, food, course costs/study materials, personal expenses and transport.
Financial Support
There are various sources of financial support available to help towards the costs at Cambridge. These fall into two broad categories: government financial support and Cambridge financial support.
Music Awards
If you are an organist, singer/chorister or instrumentalist of a very high standard and you’d like to combine specialist musical experience with a Cambridge degree, you should consider applying for a Music Award.
