Research degree fees
The tables below show full-time fees for new degree students in 2019-20.
If you are studying part-time at twice the standard duration (ie 72 months for a PhD) then you will pay
half of the relevant fee each year. Our fees for 2020-21 will be published by October 2019.
You're an international fee-payer if you're from a non-EU country. We'll
assess your fee status when you apply to Essex and you can contact us to
enquire about your fee status.
We offer a wide range of scholarships, studentships and bursaries to make
funding your studies easier.
If you're an Essex graduate or studied abroad here and your PhD is your first postgraduate course with
us, you could be eligible for our alumni loyalty discount.
