Our fees
Did you know our short courses are subsidised thanks to funds from the Government that mean for every pound you pay for a course, we draw down around 拢2 more to help fund the costs of delivery? This helps us keep prices as low as possible, and our offer as inclusive as possible for all Londoners.
We also offer concessions to students on lower incomes, including those over 65 years of age, and in 2025 we’re offering a loyalty discount for returning students who enrol before the end of the summer.
