The Costs
Fees and Finance for 2012 entry
As a result of recent changes in Government funding to higher educations, the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama (CDD), which Central School of Ballet is an affiliate of, will be charging all new UK and EU students £9,000 a year in tuition fees. The amount for International students has not yet been set but will be at least £16,000 a year.
The full cost of the training programme at Central School of Ballet is around £17,000 a year, and the Conservatoire will continue to subsidise this cost, ensuring that all Conservatoire students are receiving excellent value for money while on their preferred training course.
Depending on whether you are a UK or EU student there are a range of options available to you to assit in paying your fees and living expenses. There are also a number of scholarships available through the CDD which offer fee remissions.
UK students
If you are an English domiciled student and this is your first degree you can apply for financial support from Student Finance England.
You can apply for:
- A tuition fee loan
- A maintenance loan (to help with living costs)
- An income-assessed maintenance grant (non-repayable)
EU students
If you are an EU student intending to study in the UK, depending on your circumstances you may be entitled to:
- A tuition fee loan which you repay after graduating
- Help with living costs and certain other expenses
If you take out a tuition fee loan and/or a maintenance loan from Student Finance England, you will not have to repay anything until after you have graduated and are earning a minimum salary.
Non EU international students
Non-EU international students will be required to pay the full cost of their tuition. Fees for 2012/13 have yet to be agreed but will not be less than £16,000 for all undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
