Fees

We have priced the Warwick MBA at what we believe represents real value for money. There are cheaper programmes, of course, but the old adage of 'you get what you pay for' holds true. The Warwick MBA is a prestigious qualification; our graduates carry real weight and authority in business.

Fee illustrations given here are based upon staying in one mode throughout your study programme. In practice, you might mix modes for your elective modules which may change your annual costs.

Fees are updated annually, usually by early March. You may be able to pay in instalments if required, please contact us for details.

Fees for the Warwick Global Energy MBA are shown on its dedicated site.

The Warwick MBA by full-time study

The provisional fee for full-time study in 2010 is £22,850.

Your fee covers study materials, including some essential textbooks; career development support; project & dissertation supervision; and language tuition.

There is an £80 application fee for the full-time study mode. On accepting our offer, you will also need to pay a deposit of £1,500 which will be deducted from your total fee.

As a full-time participant, there are also some other significant costs you should budget for.

We estimate that your total living costs at WBS will be in the region of £10-15,000 depending on your individual circumstances. This is considerably less than you could expect in London.

In Spring 2009, the United Kingdom Borders Agency (UKBA) announced changes to the UK immigration system. Some of the changes have financial, as well as visa, implications, and you must have sufficient funds in place to complete your studies. More details are available from the University's International Office.
