The cost of studying at De Montfort University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £16,250 annually, to study in De Montfort University.

Our graduates are highly sought-after by speech and language therapy providers, with previous students securing positions working for the NHS and private organisations, as well as in medical, educational and social care settings.

Each year, you will access practice-based learning including placements to compliment the theoretical learning in university and develop professional and clinical expertise. Preparation for and reflection after practice-based learning ensures students are supported and continually progress from these experiences to work towards becoming autonomous Speech and Language Therapists. Practice based learning opportunities will include simulation and case based work at the University as well as external placements that include virtual (telehealth) as well as physical placement opportunities.
