What is the application fee for universities like KCL and UCL for a Postgraduate/Master's?
The standard postgraduate application fee is 85 pounds at King's College London and 90 pounds at UCL for most Master's programs. Specific courses cost more, such as up to 130 pounds for KCL's Executive MBA or 160 pounds for UCL's MSc Business Analytics, while research degrees are usually exempt.
Your KCL or UCL Master's application will usually cost a modest, fixed fee, though a handful of specific courses charge noticeably more. Both fees are strictly non-refundable, even if your application does not succeed, so budget for this before you apply to multiple programs. Research degrees at both universities are typically exempt from this charge entirely.
Application Fee Breakdown
| University | Standard Fee | Special Program Exception |
|---|---|---|
| King's College London | 85 pounds | Up to 130 pounds for Executive MBA |
| UCL | 90 pounds | 160 pounds for MSc Business Analytics or Finance; 35 pounds for Slade School of Fine Art |
What You Should Know Before Paying
- Fees are non-refundable, even if you withdraw or your application is rejected.
- KCL payments go through the King's Apply Portal; UCL payments go through Portico.
- Postgraduate Research degrees, PGCE and MRes programs are usually free to apply for.
My Advice
Check your specific course page before assuming the standard fee applies, since a small number of high-demand programs at both universities charge significantly more. Share your subject and whether you want a taught or research Master's with your counsellor so the exact fee and deadline can be confirmed for you.
