Paying your tuition fees

We charge tuition fees for every year that your course lasts. How much you pay depend on a number of factors, including: 

  • Your fee status (Home or Overseas)
  • Your course or department
  • The year you started your course at Imperial
  • What financial support you may be eligible for towards your fees

Important: Compliance with our Tuition Fee Policy forms part of your contractual obligations with Imperial College London. You can find our Tuition Fees Policy.
