Additional Costs

• In addition to your tuition costs, you can also expect to pay for:
• Students are provided with an initial set of uniforms for the duration of the course. If students require additional uniforms these will have to be purchased. Indicative cost £15 - dress and
• £30 - new tunic & trouser set
• Students are also required to purchase appropriate footwear for mandatory training and placement. Estimated cost £20-45
• The Faculty will pay for students to undergo one DBS check. Any subsequent checks required will need to be paid for by the student. Estimated cost £50
• Subject to eligibility and approval by the Faculty, students are able to arrange their own elective clinical placements either in the UK or overseas. Students are required to make the necessary arrangements for any electives, including costs such as travel, accommodation, visas and additional vaccinations.
• Students will be required to arrange and pay for the necessary vaccinations prior to enrolment. Multiple vaccinations may be required.Indicative cost £10-30 per vaccination.
• In order that healthcare students can continue to access clinical placements, the Department of Health will commit to providing allnew healthcare students a £303 payment as a non-repayable grant. This will not affect healthcare students’ ability to access funding from the standard higher education support system to pay for their essential travel costing over £303.The government recognises that some healthcare courses require students to attend training at clinical placement providers which are long distances from their university or to spend significant time away from their place of study. These situations result in either greater travel costs or the need to rent extra accommodation. Providing the case for both educational provision and value for money can be demonstrated, any student who finds that they are at a financial disadvantage as a result of their clinical placement will be entitled to re-imbursement of costs associated with secondary accommodation. Further details will be published by the Department of Health in due course.
• Students will be required to pay for missed mandatory training sessions and any missed Occupational Health appointments. Missed theory and practical sessions for mandatory training ranges from £15-£45. Missed OH appointments ranges from £17 for a General Appointment to £122 for a specialist appointment
