International Postgraduate FAQ

What are the fees?

£9,750 full-time.

Students from the Channel Islands or Isle of Man will be charged £7,312 per year full time, or £3,656 per year part time.

Do I need a Visa?

Please read Visa Information and check the UKCISA website.  If you have any questions about your status please contact Academic Registry by emailing registry@nuca.ac.uk.

Can I study part-time?

You will not get a Visa to do a part-time course. Therefore international students living in the UK can only enrol for a full-time course.

Is it possible to get funding?

We offer a limited number of scholarships to international students of up to £2,000 per year of full-time study. All international students are eligible for consideration based on the quality of their application and portfolio.  For further information please contact us at international@nuca.ac.uk.

What qualifications do I need?

The equivalent of a UK BA (Hons) degree and an IELTS score of 6.0 or above, or equivalent. Please contact UK NARIC for details on how your qualifications compare to those offered in the UK. You can email them at info@naric.org.uk or visit their website at www.naric.org.uk.

How do I apply?

Application forms should be sent directly to Academic Registry, Norwich University College of the Arts, Francis House, 3-7 Redwell Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 4SN, UK.
