Fees and Payment Options

ICOM is a registered charity and we always strive to keep the fees as low as possible.

To make financing studies easier for our students, we offer discounts for early fee payments and you can take advantage of two ways to pay your fees by instalments.

Fee payment options

Course fees are payable in advance, or on the first day of the course. A deposit of £500 is required in advance to secure your place at the college. The deposit is non-refundable but the amount will be deducted from your Year 1 course fees.

For further details of course fee payment plans please call Allison, our Student Administrator on 01342 313106.

You can apply online here.

*As a registered charity the College is a non-profit making organisation and endeavours to keep course fees as low as possible. However, the College reserves the right to increase fees annually.

Bursary Award

ICOM’s bursary system is designed to improve access to tuition at our college and to help students overcome the individual financial barriers to studying with us. Through the bursary system ICOM intends: 

  • To improve access to students who fulfil ICOM’s entry criteria but are constrained by lack of financial support
  • To diversify the student body. 

Subject to specific eligibility criteria ICOM awards the equivalent of six 50% bursaries, to include full time students and part time students over a three-year cycle. 

A 2-tier system is in place whereby eligible students receive either a 25% or 50% bursary on their tuition fees. The bursary is for tuition fees only and applies to full time and part time students. 

If you think you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for a bursary once you have received and offer of a place to study with us. For more information about eligibility, please enquire or attend one of our open days.
