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 £11,750 annually, to study in De Montfort University.

Recent graduates are now working as computer engineers, systems engineers, database managers, software developers, development and support officers, in personal identity security for smart cards and smart phones, and in teaching in Computing and ICT.
