For undergraduate courses, the tuition fee is £9,535 per year. Students can apply for student finance through their local government, which covers maintenance loans and grants to help with living costs.

Once enrolled in September, students may also apply for bursaries, which provide additional financial support. Eligibility and the amount awarded will depend on individual circumstances. We encourage students to explore all funding options available to ensure they can focus on their studies without financial concerns.

Compulsory Additional Costs:

• Enrichment Fee – A one-off enrichment fee is required as part of your course entry. This fee helps cover the cost of various extras throughout your time at Shockout, including costumes, additional workshops and classes not included in the course’s KIS hours, contributions towards shows and trips, and coach fees for events. The fee is refundable if you do not meet the requirements of your offer for entry, if you cannot provide a satisfactory medical report, or if you withdraw within the first 6 weeks after the course start date. Estimated cost: £350 – one-off payment.
