How much will it cost?

Tuition fees

All Roehampton students studying abroad on an exchange programme continue to pay tuition fees to the University of Roehampton, and are not required to pay tuition fees to the host university. This is because a student from your host university will come to Roehampton in your place; they continue to pay fees at their university, whilst you continue to pay fees to Roehampton.

  • All students studying abroad must inform Student Finance when applying funding for the year during which you will be abroad.
  • For students studying abroad for one semester, your tuition fee will be unchanged.

Grants

All students may be eligible to apply for the following grants and scholarships.

Budgeting

If you are supported by Student Finance you will continue to receive funding. We recommend that you budget around £5,500 for your study abroad exchange to cover your flight, visa, accommodation, health insurance and other expenses. You will need to demonstrate that you are able to support yourself during the exchange when you apply to your host university.

Global Graduates offers all students advice and tips on the financial aspects of studying abroad, amongst others.

Expenses

Exchange costs vary depending on where you study and your lifestyle. Although there are no extra tuition fees, other costs are involved. Some expenses you should consider are:

  • Travel to and from your host country
  • Travel within your host country
  • Health and travel insurance
  • Accommodation
  • Meals and social activities
  • Visas (unless you are an EU citizen studying in another EU country)

Wanting to make the most of your experience while you are abroad, you may travel or participate in activities that you do not normally undertake at home. Think very carefully before applying about whether and how you will be able to support yourself financially during your time abroad.  Remember that exchange rates can fluctuate at any time, suddenly making your exchange much more expensive, or cheaper!
