Tuition Fees
All tuition fees are due at the beginning of the academic session. In order to assist students in spreading the cost over the year, the University has introduced a system of payment by instalments.
Please see the link below for Undergraduate, Postgraduate and International payment information.

Home students are required to submit direct debit mandates payable from a UK bank to effect payment of their personal fee liability, as part of the enrolment process.
Appeal against Withdrawal of study for non-payment of Tuition Fees
Enrolment Instalment
Students will receive enrolment reminders. Students who do not complete enrolment because they are unable to pay their enrolment instalment will be withdrawn in line with the enrolment regulations. Students may apply to suspend their studies by contacting their Faculty or The College. Should the student be able to pay their fees shortly after withdrawal they may submit a Permission to Enrol form for consideration.
Other Instalments
Students will receive automated tuition fee reminders whilst fees are outstanding. Following this we will be sending appeal forms via email, which students will need to complete and return. The appeal form will allow students to apply for an extended tuition deadline date if needed. If the outstanding payment is not received by the extended deadline date, students will be Withdrawn from study.
Sponsored Students
Students claiming to be in receipt of sponsorship will not be permitted to enrol without appropriate documentation. Sponsors are expected to pay invoices within 30 days. The University will continue to recognise an organisation as a legitimate sponsor, only if payments are received promptly. We do not class parents/family as sponsors for the purposes of this definition, and reserve the right to reject sponsorship credentials in certain circumstances.
Where fees are not paid by a student's sponsor, the student will become personally responsible for all fees owed.
Reminders
The Finance Department will issue reminders to students for outstanding fees. In addition, details of amounts owed will be shown in the students intranet account on the University's website.
