what determines my tuition fee?

To determine which Tuition Fee category you will be allocated or you qualify for, the below criteria are used. You need to:

  1. Have lived in that country/region 6 months prior to your application.
  2. Be a citizen or hold a Residence Certificate or Card for that country/region for the same length of time or more.

How can i make the tuition payments?

The Tuition Fee balance can be made in one payment or three payments on given dates within the academic year.

All applicants are required to make a Tuition Fee payment before starting their course. Deadlines for Tuition Fee payments are given in the Offer Letters.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

The IAB is an independent organisation operating entirely without public funding. All students are required to pay Tuition Fees irrespective of age or background. Each student is responsible for the payment of their Tuition Fees and should not enrol on the programme unless appropriate funding is already in place.

As we are a private and small institution we can only afford to offer financial support in a very few cases. All applicants must first apply and be made an offer to the programme, before they can be considered for financial support.

The IAB offers:

Talent Scholarship

The IAB offers a limited number of Talent Scholarships each year. These are available for BA (Hons) programmes and awarded to new students who demonstrate outstanding talent at audition.

You cannot therefore apply for a Talent Scholarship, instead students will be assessed at the audition to determine if they are eligible. They are open throughout the academic year. A Talent Scholarship constitutes a reduction in fees, rather than a full fee waiver.

Financial Aid

Financial aid is a grant towards your Tuition Fees. If awarded, this constitutes a small reduction in your Tuition Fees. Applicants will be required to provide supplementary evidence. Once you have been made an offer, you can request the financial aid application form.

other funding options

You are advised to search within your own home country for scholarships which could support you to attend the IAB.

You could also look into a private loan with a bank of your choice.
