Payment of Tuition Fees
Q Do I have to pay the fees on or before enrolment?
A) During your enrolment you will automatically be setup to pay by instalment, allowing you to pay 50% of your tuition fees by 31 October.
Alternatively your fees maybe paid by one of the following methods:-
- Undergraduate student who have taken out a loan with Student Finance England will have the funds paid directly to the University on your behalf.
- Postgraduate students who have taken out a loan with Student Finance will have the funds paid directly your bank account. In order to amend your instalments inline with Student Finance's payment dates and amounts Finance Centre require a copy of your notification along with payment of the 1st instalment.
- A sponsor, normally when a company or institute (not a family member or individual) is paying your fees on your behalf see Sponsored Students for further detail.
Q Can I pay at enrolment?
A) Yes, payments can be made during enrolment, The Finance staff are located in the Finance Centre and will be available to help you with the payments. You may also use the online card payment this option means you do not have to queue and is accessible outside of normal office hours.
Q What happens if I do not pay at enrolment?
If payment is not made in full, or insufficient evidence is given on how your fees will be paid, then financial clearance will be blocked. You will have until 31 October to pay in full or provide a sponsorship letter, failure to do so may result in you being asked to withdraw. It is important that you speak to staff in the Finance Centre.
