Self Funding Students

Tuition Fee Payment Options

If you are not eligible for a Tuition Fee Loan or choose to finance your studies privately then there are several payment options available to you:

Payment Options

  • You can pay your full tuition fees online at registration. Alternatively, you can choose to pay in 6 instalments within the academic year or in 3 instalments if you are only studying one semester, in line with the University’s instalment plan.
  • Part-time students who do not have a Tuition Fee Loan in place will be required to settle their tuition fees within 30 days from date of invoice.
  • Please note that the above options are available to UK students or pre-2021 entry, settled or pre-settled status EU students only. International students are required to pay 50% of their fees before enrolment in accordance with UK Border Agency regulations. The remaining 50% is then due before the start of your second semester.
