Postgraduate fees

We pay Student Finance England (SFE) and Student Finance Wales (SFW) Postgraduate Master’s and Doctoral Loans directly to the student. Therefore, you do not need to enter the course fee rate on CMS.

When you add a course with a postgraduate master’s or doctorate funding level and select SFE or SFW, no course fee box appears on the course capture screen.

You need to enter a tuition fee when you set up a course with Northern Ireland Tuition Fee Loan funding. When you set up this type of course, you'll need to enter a fee rate per course year. This can be higher than your provider fee cap on the Provider page of CMS.

You need to enter a tuition fee when you set up a Scottish postgraduate course. If the course duration is more than one year, you should split the fees equally across the course years. The fee can be higher than your provider fee cap on the Provider page of CMS.
