Deposits for self-funding students

All self-funded students must pay a deposit before receiving the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number which enables you to apply for a visa. You will be notified of the deposit amount in your conditional offer. If you are refused a visa your deposit will be refunded once you have provided the Finance Department with the original refusal documentation.

Payment terms

  • You must pay 50% of your net course fees before enrolment at the University - you may then pay the remaining 50% in up to seven monthly instalments.
  • If you pay in full before enrolment you get a 5% early payment discount 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.
  • As an international or European student you can pay fees in your own currency through the Studentpay scheme.

Sponsored students

  • Before we can issue you with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number we must receive confirmation that your fees will be paid by your sponsor. We will only accept such letters from approved sponsors.
  • You must bring an original copy of your sponsorship letter when you arrive at the University to enrol.
  • You will not be entitled to the International Scholarship.

A scholarship of £1,500 per year is available for all self-funded international (non-European Union) students studying on foundation, undergraduate or postgraduate programmes. Scholarships are awarded as a fee reduction for every year of full-time study.
