If you are an international (non-European Union) student funding your own studies, you must pay a deposit of £4,000 before receiving your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number which enables you to apply for a visa. We confirm the required deposit in your conditional offer.

If you are applying for a six month International Foundation programme or a Pre-sessional English course the University requires full fees in advance.

If you are refused a visa, we refund your deposit. If your visa is issued, the University keeps your deposit.

You may be eligible for a scholarship of £1000 or £1500 in your first year of study if you are an international (non-European Union) student studying on a foundation, undergraduate or postgraduate programme. Scholarships are awarded to students with higher than average grades or English language ability. Find out more about scholarships here.
