UK Undergraduate Fees 2010For 2010/11 tuition fees at De Montfort University (DMU) will cost £3,290 per year for UK and EU undergraduate students studying full-time courses. Student fees may increase for each year they study at DMU, approximately at the rate of inflation. Why do I need to pay fees? DMU is only partly-funded by the Government so your fees go towards paying for lessons, tutors, the buildings you study in, the Students’ Union and more. Fortunately, you do not need to pay your fees until after you’ve graduated and are earning more than £15,000 a year. While at university you will need to pay for your accommodation, food, laundry, bills and other living expenses. There are a number of ways to help you pay for these expenses, including scholarships and bursaries, maintenance loans, maintenance grants. Please ensure you find out about all the funding available to you, you may be entitled to receive more than you think. Fees for overseas and part-time students are seperate to those for UK and EU students. There are a number of funded place programmes where the course fees are paid by the NHS and the Probation Service. For details, see the table below:

This is because the University receives less government funding for these types of student.
There are some exemptions to this rule. You will pay the standard fees if you are:
