Staying on bonus

£1,000 discount
If you study with us at undergraduate level and progress to a postgraduate course, or you complete a master's with us and progress to further postgraduate study, you are awarded a £1,000 discount on your first-year fees for the next programme - provided that you apply directly to us and don't use an agent.

Deposits for self-funding students

If you are funding your own studies, you must pay a deposit before receiving your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number which enables you to apply for a visa. We confirm your deposit amount in your conditional offer. If you are refused a visa, we refund your deposit. If your visa is issued, the University retains your deposit.

Payment terms

  • You must pay 50% of your net course fees before you enrol at the University
  • You can pay the remaining 50% in up to seven monthly instalments
  • If you pay in full before you enrol, you are entitled to a 5% early payment discount - this is 5% of the net course fee
  • Your course fees are fixed at the same level for all the years you study on the same course
  • These payment terms apply for each year of study. You must pay 50% deposit before you can enrol each year.
  • As an international or European student you can pay fees in your own currency through Western Union.

Sponsored students

  • Your sponsor needs to confirm by letter that they are paying your fees before we can issue your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies. We only accept letters from approved sponsors
  • You must bring an original copy of your sponsorship letter when you arrive at the University to enrol
  • You aren't entitled to an international scholarship.

We advise £800 a month for the duration of your course. Use the UNIAID to help you manage your money.
