Course-related costs
In addition to the routine expenses, it is also important to budget for course-related expenditure. This includes books, equipment and travel, particularly travel to placements and events. The type of equipment, clothing and books that you will require will depend on the course you are studying. A reasonable estimate to cover these items is £250 – £500 in your first year.
In later years of the course there will also be further additional travel costs as students see practice. Please be aware that you may also have to pay further living costs and have access to a vehicle during your Extra Mural Studies (EMS) in your fourth year. You will also find that vacations may be spent on placements, giving you limited opportunities for part-time work. Some part-time opportunities working for the College do arise from time to time throughout the year.
