The tuition fees for full time undergraduate courses are £9,000. The cost is £11,250 per year for international students.
The University of Bolton has recently undergone a major redevelopment, adding facilities in 2012 such as a £100,000 practice law court, the £31 million purpose-built health, leisure and research facility "Bolton One", and a £10 million media suite including dark rooms, Mac suites and SFX labs.
Future developments include a University Technical College and a purpose-built Centre for Advanced Performance Engineering planned for 2015.
There are two purpose built halls at the University of Bolton which provide 700 spaces for students. Each hall is self-catered, and all first year students will get priority for places; for the past six years Bolton have been able to accommodate all first year students that submitted an application before August. For the 2014/15 the cost of both accommodation options is £2,983, and this covers a period of 38 weeks and includes the Easter and Christmas vacations. It also includes the costs of heating, lighting, hot water and the internet.
There are a variety of Open Days as well as Course Advice Days which take place throughout the year at the University of Bolton to help you make an informed decision over whether it's the right place for you. You can find out more about the courses and campus facilities - including the Library, the Sports Centre, the Halls of Residence and the Students' Union - as well as the accommodation on offer and what the town of Bolton itself is like.
