Additional Costs

The core textbooks for all modules are available in the Kimberlin library, and journal articles on your reading lists are also available electronically from your myDMU login. Similarly, any other essential course material (including in some cases an electronic version of the core textbook) is available from the dedicated module site on the University’s virtual-learning environment. Some students like to purchase their own copies of textbooks or print course documents. We suggest allowing up to £200 per year if you wish to purchase new textbooks, less for second hand.

NCTJ accredited master's courses will attract an exam fee of around £350
