Overseas students

Fees

Overseas students (those from outside the EU) are required to pay University and College fees. Details of the fees for 2011-12 are given below, both University and College fees will increase in subsequent years.

Daily living costs

Accommodation and meal charges. Almost all Pembroke undergraduates live in college-owned accommodation for the full three or four years that they are in Cambridge. Students live in single study bedrooms either on the main college site or in college owned houses nearby. Rents are charged termly, for a nine- or ten-week period, and there is no need to pay rent during the vacations if you are not in residence. Rents vary according to the size of room and facilities offered. In 2011/2012 most rents are in the range £64 per week - £99 per week. There is a flat rate charge for electricity; in 2011/12 this is £18.00 per term. A Kitchen Fixed Charge (KFC) is also required, and in 2011/2012 this is £135.50 per term. Since Pembroke is within walking or cycling distance of all lecture rooms, libraries etc. there are limited transport costs while you are here.

Essential accommodation and kitchen overhead charges for Pembroke students are, thus, between £2,360 and £3,435 per year in 2011/2012, excluding the cost of meals taken. There are no other compulsory charges.

Total estimated living expenses. It is estimated that in 2011-12 a student will need at least £7,170 to cover their living costs while in Cambridge. This includes your rent, KFC, food, entertainment, books, etc. but does not include travel costs to and from home nor the tuition fee, but it assumes that you will be resident for some vacation periods each year. Costs will rise each year.

It is not possible for you to work during the academic session to pay your way through the University: we will require you to give a guarantee that you can finance yourself for your entire course.
