All tuition fees are per year unless stated otherwise. Gower College Swansea reserves the right to make changes to tuition fees at short notice. Tuition fees are fixed for the period of study. Fees for some programmes do not include examination registration fees. Please allow an additional £6500 per year to cover accommodation and living costs.
Payment conditions:
All international students must pay a deposit of £2000 for their course a minimum of three months prior to the course start date. This deposit is non-transferable from one term / year to another and can only be refunded if your student visa application is unsuccessful. The balance of tuition fees must be paid at enrolment. Failure to pay the balance of fees will mean that you are unable to enrol at the College and will therefore be in breach of the terms of your student visa. This may result in you having to return to your home country.

When you enter the UK as an international student, you must be able to prove that you are able to meet the cost of living expenses as well as your tuition fees. All costs quoted are correct at the time of publishing.
