2013 Funding:
For degree courses starting in 2013, the University of East Anglia (UEA) will charge a tuition fee of £9,000 a year for UK/EU undergraduates (same as 2012). EU students will also have the option to take out a Tuition Fee Loan from the UK Government (in the same way as UK students). The fee is paid directly to the university on your behalf and is administered by Student Finance England. You can borrow the full fee, part of the fee or none of the fee each year of your study. You pay back the Loan once you have finished studying and earning over £21,000 a year. For more information please click here.
The fee income we receive is used to enhance students’ academic and social experience by investing in the quality of teaching and research, student services and a range of academic facilities. It also helps us to provide a range of initiatives to support access for all to higher education. We have secured one of the top ten scores for student satisfaction every year since the National Student Satisfaction Survey began and are ranked in the top 25 universities in the UK by the Guardian and in the top 1% of the world’s Higher Education Institutions. We are committed to our continued investment in the student experience from 2013 onwards.
Bursaries
Students do not need to apply for bursary support, all students are automatically considered using household income information received from Student Finance England. Eligible students will be contacted shortly before the course starts. Bursaries cannot be combined but students can receive both a bursary and scholarship if eligible.
For 2013 entry the University will be offering the following bursaries for Home and EU students:
| Criteria | Support Amount | Duration |
| Household income less than £16,000 | £3,000 | per annum for up to four years* of undergraduate study |
| Household income £16,001 to £20,000 | £2,000 | per annum for up to four years* of undergraduate study |
| Household income £20,001 to £25,000 | £1,000 | per annum for up to four years* of undergraduate study |
| Science Foundation Year or Computing Foundation Year with household income less than £42,611 | £4,500 | Foundation Year only |
| Care Leaver | £3,000 | per annum for up to four years* of undergraduate study |
Support is on a fee pro-rata basis for those students paying half fees or less. If a student has an income of under £16,000 and is a Care Leaver, they will be eligible for a £3,000 fee waiver.
The form in which eligible students will receive their bursary can be chosen by the student from the following option:
- Full bursary amount as a fee waiver (default option)
- Full bursary amount as a University accommodation discount
- £1000 cash bursary, and remaining balance as an accommodation discount or as a fee waiver
- Full bursary amount in cash (this option is only available for students in their second year onwards.)
Support for students with a household income of less than £16,000 is provided as part of the Government's National Scholarship Programme.
Students on NHS funded courses (i.e. where no fee is payable from the student) offered by the University are not eligible for a University bursary. NHS funded courses are those offered by the School of Nursing Sciences and School of Allied Health Professions.
