Changes to your studies

If you have to interrupt or decide to withdraw from your studies, or need to repeat part of your course, this will impact on your tuition fees. Find out how different changes to your studies could affect your fees and what we can do to support you.

Interrupting or withdrawing from your studies

Fees charged to registered students will be calculated based upon the date the University is formally informed of any change in registration. Students should therefore follow the University’s formal procedures for interrupting or withdrawing from study.

If you are receiving maintenance payments from Student Finance, you will be contacted by Student Finance to request the return of any overpayment of your maintenance loan in line with the liability points of your withdrawal date. You are strongly advised to discuss this in detail with our Money Advice and Guidance Team at money@liverpool.ac.uk before finalising your decision to withdraw.

Repeating a year

If you need to repeat a year of study, the tuition fee charged depends on whether you are repeating with or without attendance.

If you are repeating without attendance, you will be charged a registration fee which will be £310 for the 2024/25 academic year. This can increase each academic year in line with inflation.

Please note, for 'Home' students, this mode of repetition means you would not be entitled to any funding support from Student Finance.

If you are repeating with attendance, you will be charged per 15 credit module. This amount will differ dependant upon your full programme fee. You can email feesenq@liverpool.ac.uk to obtain further details on this.

Please note, for 'Home' students, provided you have not repeated before or attended another University, you may be entitled to a 'Gift year' of funding through Student Finance if you repeat with attendance. You should contact Student Finance directly to see if you are eligible for this funding (0300 100 0607).

You will need to discuss details of your repetition with your Student Support Office. They can provide you with the relevant forms to complete and discuss in depth which options or modes of repetition are best for you.

Extending your dissertation deadline

If you are extending your dissertation deadline, then you will be charged a submission pending fee for the extended duration. The charge for this is £95 per quarter and up to £380 for the full 12 months for academic year 2024/25. This charge may be subject to increase each academic year.

Re-submitting your dissertation

If you've previously submitted your dissertation and wish to re-submit it, a fee will apply. This fee will be charged in addition to the fee for extending your dissertation deadline which is highlighted above.
