Our postgraduate students have access to a shared working space with networked computing facilities. However, most of our students find it useful to have their own laptop.

Whilst our libraries are excellent, most students purchase a certain number of books for their own use. Some research projects will require one or more of the following: fieldwork, visits and research overseas, specialist software, equipment and materials, the participation of (paid) volunteers. These can entail significant costs.

The Faculty has some limited funds to support these needs; and certain Sections may have additional funding. The Faculty strongly advises that students plan in advance for all necessary research funding, as far as is possible. If your project is dependent on the availability of such funds, you should discuss its viability in advance with your intended supervisor.

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.
