Undergraduate fees

Learn how much it costs to study at Sheffield Hallam University

As a not-for-profit organisation, we collect fees to put towards your student experience, including campus facilities, study resources and student support.

Depending on your course, your fees might also include UK field trips and professional body membership. 

If you are a UK student receiving a student loan, you will not have to pay any tuition fees until after you graduate.

Home or international?

Your fees depend on whether you are given home or international fee status. Generally, you are likely to have home status if you are:

  • a UK national
  • an Irish national
  • an EU, EEA and Swiss national with settled or pre-settled status.

If you are none of these, you are likely to have international status unless you meet certain criteria.

For a detailed explanation of fee status rules, check the UK Council for International Students' HE fee status guide.
