St Mary's University Twickenham Courses and Fees 2025

• I wouldn’t say that it was a very easy or a particularly tough course. However it was challenging and you had to keep reading and learning more. 
• Initially I think there were around 15-16 students in the course. A equally distribution between international and national students. However within two weeks, most students either chose a different course (international students, because you couldn’t pull out of the university otherwise you would lose the deposit) and the rest switched to part time (option only available for national students). 
• The students who differed to the other courses, had not done a proper research in what the course would include and joined. They realised quite late that it was not clinical but purely applied and related to only sport. 
• At the end only 4 people presented their dissertation at the end of the course. This was because either students were part timers or they didn’t qualify for the requirements of an MSc degree and would be provided a diploma.

• The course fees at the time was 14,500 pounds. Since it was just a year or two after Covid, the prices were down. It could be paid in one go or semester wise as well. 
•  Since I was a PG student, I could not avail hostel services, so I looked for an accommodation outside of the campus, which actually turned out to be more pocket friendly, because the hostel fees included food. It gets complicated because you can only collect a certain number of points collected from buying food and the rest comes out of your own pocket. It would add up to maybe 5-6 meals per week. Which means you could not eat food there three times per day and if whatever you buy exceeds the point limit, that money came out of your pocket. 
• The university however does have a separate website to search for private accommodations nearby. And it lets you connect with the locals in the area. Which is how I found my accommodation as well. My room rent was 500 pound per month, which included almost everything except the washing, which was about 2 pounds per wash/and or using the dryer. However I have heard that the rent has gone up higher due to the hike in utility charges and as such.

It could be improved. The course doesn't cover many pluralists. I find the course stuck in ita catholic roots and unable to shift them. This is a disappointing factor as the potential and importance of learning variety is so important.

The fees are 4600 a year with an alumni discount. This is split into three over the year. Not much help is given on paying.
