Tuition

The Center for International Studies does not charge for its services in preparing you for studying for a full degree at one of our partner institutions, therefore you will be responsible for paying only the direct fees charged by the university you attend. Unlike U.S. institutions, overseas universities charge different fees for different programs. An example would be that if you are interested in a program in the Humanities you would probably pay less than in the Sciences where lab expenses would be included.
Tuition amounts vary considerably but a range for an undergraduate degree may be between $US10,000 - $US12,00 for non laboratory-based programs and $US15,000 to $US18,000 for laboratory-based programs. Graduate fees can range from $US11,500 - $US17,000 per year (many take only one year). When you request information on a particular university a fee schedule will be provided by CIS.
In addition to the tuition fees, you will want to be prepared for the other costs associated with traveling abroad such as travel expenses, meals (if you are not on a meal plan), local transportation, spending money, etc. In your pre-departure information we will notify you of other costs that you can expect. If you wish to inquire about specific tuition fees for a program you can at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/planning/fees/2005-06/appendix.htm

Studying in Nottingham

It’s really no wonder that Nottingham is regarded as one of Britain’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities. With a population of around 300,000, Nottingham is perfectly located at the heart of England. The compact city, only a short bus or bike ride from the University, combines heritage (e.g., Robin Hood) and history with contemporary culture – from the world’s oldest pub to voguish style bars, from traditional markets to unique designer boutiques.
