About UCMK
“We create opportunities for people to achieve their personal, educational and employment goals.”

How Much Does it Cost?

Recent changes in government policy have resulted in substantial changes to student fees and funding arrangements, and we are aware that for some students, this may be a cause for concern.

Fees will be set by the partner university that validates your course, so you will need to check their website for the most up-to-date information.

Arrangements for financial support for students are complex, but there are a number of good sources of advice.

UCMK has some limited funds to provide bursaries, but we strongly advise you to consult the government's guidance on student finance and the guidance given by the university that validates the course you wish to study.

The following web links provide a lot of helpful guidance.

About UCMK

Welcome

Welcome

Welcome to the University Centre Milton Keynes, or UCMK as we are affectionately known by our students. We are delighted that you are exploring the exciting Higher Education (HE) opportunities on offer at UCMK.

Higher Education refers to those courses offered at Degree level or equivalent (level 4 or higher on the national qualifications framework). Such courses offer a wonderful opportunity to be challenged intellectually and personally, to develop new ways of understanding the world, and to acquire valuable new skills which can be directly applied to the workplace.

UCMK is an exciting new venture for Milton Keynes. Based in a stunning, purpose-designed building with state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of the city centre, it is just five minutes walk from the rail andbus stations, and close to all the amenities that this vibrant new city has to offer.

At UCMK, we enjoy close and effective partnerships with the four universities that validate our courses. Our graduates will be awarded Degrees from one of our partner universities. In addition, we offer many highly-regarded courses validated by major professional bodies.

We opened our doors to students for the first time in September 2008. Although we may be new to the HE arena, we are committed, with our partners, to delivering excellence to our students - excellence in terms of academic standards; excellence in terms of the quality of our teaching; excellence in terms of the support we offer to our students. In short, excellence in a new setting.
