Additional Costs
Additional costs
School of Languages & Cultures postgraduate students can expect to incur some additional costs as part of their course, however, the school aims to minimise these where possible.
Books
There are no compulsory text books you will need to purchase for the postgraduate taught masters courses.
Each course will provide a recommended reading list to students. It is not expected that you will read every book over the course of the year, but you are encouraged to read as widely as possible to inform your work, and to gain a greater understanding of your field.
The University Library has an extensive collection, including access to journals, which is available to all students to support them in their studies. Key chapters will be provided to students.
Field class and dissertation placement
For the MA in Intercultural Communication and Development, you’ll also take a ten-day field class overseas. The cost of the field trip class is included in the fees.
There will be an extra cost for the dissertation placement (which is often in the global south) but it's great experience and value for money.
Our students are placed with some of the world's leading international agencies on the dissertation placement. Most of our placements are in the global south. We have some in the UK, and even a few in 91̽»¨, but unless you have overriding reasons (such as caring responsibilities) you should expect to do your placement outside the UK.
Costs vary depending on the location of the placement – whether overseas or in the UK. You'll need to think about the cost of flights, accommodation, food and transport, which can add up to around £1,500 in addition to your tuition fees.
