Tuition Fees
As a Higher Education student you will have two main costs to meet; your tuition fees and living costs.
Our full-time tuition fees for UK and EU students entering University can be found on our student finance page. These fees are charged for each academic year of a course and are set by the college annually.

Additional Costs
Students will require basic outdoor equipment including:
Students purchasing equipment are advised to contact the course manager to check suitability. Many students considering a career in the outdoors will already have suitable equipment and clothing.
Specialist and personal protective equipment is provided, for example for kayaking the College provides: Boat, Paddle, Spray-deck, Buoyancy Aid, Helmet, Wetsuit, Cag.
Additional trips may be available, subject to staffing and minimum numbers of participants (participation in these trips is not a compulsory requirement of the course).
In addition, there may be opportunity to undertake qualification courses. These can be organised to meet the needs of students and participation is subject to meeting the minimum skill and experience requirements set by the relevant governing body.
Equipment Costs
All items may be sourced second hand and therefore could be cheaper. You will find a range of pricing options available and staff will support you in selecting as appropriate. You may borrow all items apart from walking boots from the outdoor store.
Prices of equipment are subject to change dependent on retailer.
My advice to anyone thinking of becoming an adventure sports undergraduate at Reaseheath is ‘Just go for it. You won’t regret it.’ The amount of practical teaching is unparalleled to any other university and the facilities on and around campus are amazing.
