Students starting their course in September 2025
If you are starting your course with us in September 2025 a deposit of £5,000 is required to be paid for the university to issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number.
You will need to pay your remaining tuition fees either in full at the start of your course, or in two instalments, by the deadlines below:
If you are starting your course with us in September 2025 the deadlines for the two instalments will be:
- 50% of fee by end 31 October 2025
- Remaining balance to be paid by 31 January 2026.
Fully or partially officially sponsored international students
If a third party sponsor is paying your fees, you should provide their invoicing details via Student View. A scanned copy of a financial guarantee will be acceptable.
Sponsors should ensure that student fees are paid in full by 1 November of the relevant academic year, or within four weeks of the student’s course start date if this is later than 1 November.
As a student you remain ultimately responsible for the payment of your tuition fees, including where a sponsorship agreement has been approved (see the Student Contract).
