How much does it cost to study for an MBA in the UK? Unsurprisingly, the fees vary from institution to institution.

This table lists the tuition fees charged by universities in the UK to overseas students (those from outside the European Union), ranked from highest to lowest.

These data form part of the international and postgraduate fees survey, 2015, which also includes information on tuition fees for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.

The list includes links to the profiles of those institutions also featured in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2014-15.

Notes:
Data are based on a survey of higher education institutions conducted by The Complete University Guide. Some figures for MBA courses have been updated by Times Higher Education using information from universities’ websites. Higher education institutions were asked to provide a typical fee, although some institutions chose to provide a range. Figures are for guidance only. Fees for specific courses may vary from those shown. For the purposes of this table, institutions providing a range are ranked according to the highest fee charged. The averages excludes institutions that provided a range. This table may be updated as THE becomes aware of new data.
