Manchester Metropolitan University Tuition Fees by Programme

Manchester Metropolitan University publishes separate international fees by course, with most selected postgraduate routes costing £21,000 (INR 27.41 Lakhs). The fee structure is annual and course-based, not one university-wide subject rate.

Manchester Metropolitan University Postgraduate Fees: 2026/27

Postgraduate (PG) means study after a bachelor’s degree. These ten full-time taught Master of Science (MSc) routes normally take one year.

• The £22,000 (INR 28.71 Lakhs) Engineering Project Management fee is the highest PG rate in this group.
• MSc International Business Management explicitly lists September and January starts.
• Optional placement or internship years are separate routes and are not included.
• The £5,000 (INR 6.53 Lakhs) deposit reduces tuition when Manchester Metropolitan University requires it.

Manchester Metropolitan University Undergraduate Fees: 2026/27

Undergraduate (UG) means first-degree study after school. Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc), and Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) are degree labels. Hons means honours. These five full-time courses use three-year routes and normally require 360 credits.

• The UG fee-band gap is £1,500 (INR 1.96 Lakhs) annually. Multiplication across three years assumes unchanged current rates.
• Direct UG applicants should use the 13 January 2027 UCAS equal consideration date for September 2027.
• January is not a direct UG start in the published university route. Pathway availability follows separate International College dates.

• Halls are on-campus or university-managed residences, while private housing is off-campus.

Total Cost of Studying at Manchester Metropolitan University

The MSc Data Science first-year budget is INR 46.48 Lakhs to INR 50.96 Lakhs, depending on published living costs.

Mandatory fees show one year of Immigration Health Surcharge for comparison, although the actual charge is paid upfront.

• Tuition covers one current MSc Data Science year at the published 2026/27 rate.
• Living includes 12 months, while halls are priced on a 44-week contract.
• The £5,000 (INR 6.53 Lakhs) deposit forms part of tuition, so it is not added again.
• The Student Visa fee is £558 (INR 72,825) for the comparison shown.
• The £776 (INR 1.01 Lakhs) IHS figure is annual, but the full visa-duration charge is paid upfront.

MSc Data Science tuition plus living totals INR 44.74 to INR 49.22 Lakhs. This uses unchanged current rates. An INR 50 Lakhs education loan implies about INR 65,000 to INR 70,000 monthly. The term is 10 years at 10.5%.

Manchester Metropolitan University Scholarships for Indian Students

Manchester Metropolitan University’s automatic PG award is £5,000 (INR 6.53 Lakhs). It covers most eligible taught Masters starting September 2026 or January 2027. Automatic assessment means no separate scholarship form is needed. Awards are applied at enrolment and normally cannot be combined.

Manchester Metropolitan University Tuition Deposit and Payment Options

Manchester Metropolitan University generally requires a standard £5,000 deposit (INR 6.53 Lakhs) from new international students. The deposit is deducted from the tuition fee and must be paid before the CAS is issued. The deadline is set out in the individual offer letter, while refund eligibility may be limited after a visa decision.

The standard £5,000 deposit applies to MSc Data Science, MSc International Business Management, and BA International Business Management. Any variation or exception should be clearly stated in the individual offer letter.

Methods of payment:

• Bank transfer or telegraphic transfer using the university payment instructions.
• Flywire, Manchester Metropolitan University’s named international payment provider.
• A forex card, where the issuer offers a lower spread than a raw wire.
• Education-loan disbursement, subject to the lender’s release schedule.

A forex card or Flywire can save about 2% to 3% against a raw wire spread. This is a transaction difference, not a university discount.

Steps to pay the tuition fee for international students:

1. Accept the course offer.
2. Pay the £5,000 (INR 6.53 Lakhs) deposit by the offer deadline.
3. Request the CAS after the payment and document checks.
4. Pay the balance at enrolment or through two equal payments during the year.
5. Keep every payment receipt for the visa file.

Fee Saving Strategies for Indian Students

The most urgent January 2027 saving is the automatic £5,000 (INR 6.53 Lakhs) PG award. September 2026 scholarship deadlines have passed.

• Part-time work can support living expenses when Student Visa conditions permit it. It should not fund the deposit or visa charges.
• Section 80E of India’s Income-tax Act may allow interest deductions on an eligible higher-education loan.
• A £21,000 (INR 27.41 Lakhs) PG route costs £1,000 (INR 1.31 Lakhs) less.
• The comparison uses a £22,000 (INR 28.71 Lakhs) route.
