Fees and Maintenance

My fee status is:

I shall have the following financial dependants:

Your Estimated Annual Commitment:

Component Cost
University Composition Fee £10,878
Maintenance £19,860
Total Annual Commitment £30,738

Fieldwork costs: Some projects will involve fieldwork away from Cambridge, costs of travel, accommodation and any local costs for accessing sites, documentation or data should be considered. These will be specific to the individual student and project. Some financial assistance is available from the department for fieldwork costs; students may also be able to obtain some funds from their College, but students should be aware that they may need to cover some of the cost of their fieldwork themselves.

If you study part-time, the University Composition Fee will be 60% of the annual full-time fee for 5 years; or 75% of the annual full-time fee for 4 years. Guidance on calculation of your maintenance costs can be found here: Maintenance costs for part-time students | Postgraduate Study (cam.ac.uk)
