King's students studying abroad at a partner institution are not charged tuition fees by the host university (although some partners do charge a small administration cost for applying) and can expect to pay just for their travel, accommodation and other course-related costs such as field trips, books etc.

King's will reduce the tuition fees owed for those undergraduate students who study abroad for a semester or year at an exchange partner university. King’s expects to continue to invoice students or their relevant funding body for King's tuition fees at the appropriate fee level depending on the kind of mobility, as following during their year abroad.

Home fee-paying for a semester

Students studying for a semester abroad will receive an invoice for £6,000 for King’s tuition fees for the year. 

Home fee-paying for a full academic year

Students studying or working for a full academic year abroad will receive an invoice for £1,430 for King’s tuition fees for the year.

Overseas fee-paying for a semester

Students studying for a semester abroad will receive an invoice for two thirds of the King's tuition fees for the year.

Overseas fee-paying for a full academic year

Students studying or working for a full academic year abroad will receive an invoice for one third of the King's tuition fees for the year.

Postgraduate students on the MA European Studies who choose to study abroad for the second semester at Science Po, Paris or the Humboldt in Berlin do not pay tuition fees to the host university. Instead, they will be required to pay King's full fee for the masters.

Students on one of the Dickson Poon School of Law's dual degree programmes have alternative fee arrangements. More information on the dual degree programmes can be found on The Dickson Poon School of Law international opportunities webpage. Students should contact the Law School directly for more information on the dual degree fee structure.

Many courses that incorporate a study abroad year or a semester are eligible for Federal Aid, however not all are. If you are planning to take a course that incorporates a period of studying abroad, please ensure that you speak to the Student Funding Office. Further information about which courses can be eligible as well as contact details for the Student Funding Office can be found on our United States loans webpage.
