Fees for Day Courses in Social Research
Course fees vary according course type and your role and status. See table below for current fees.
STUDENTS please note:
Make sure you apply for the correct type of student place as detailed in the table below. Student places on all courses are limited and allocated on a ‘first-come-first-served basis’.

Doctoral Training Centre : subsidy for student places
We are able to offer reduced fees for students on some of our more advanced courses and workshops as a result of our collaboration with the South Eastern Doctoral Training Centre (SEDTC).
If you are applying for one of these places make sure you apply correctly according to the institution you attend and the discipline in which you study.
