Range of Fees

Most universities, including Royal Holloway, charge £3,070 a year for tuition of a full-time degree course in September 2007. This money doesn't have to be paid before, or during, a student's time at university. Instead, a student is eligible for a student loan to cover the fees for their course. This loan will only have to be repaid after they have graduated and earning more than £15,000 per annum. Depending on their household income, government maintenance grants of up to £2,765 are also available.
