Scholarships and fees

As an International student, it is assumed that you will have enough money to pay for your tuition fees and living expenses while you are in the UK. This is why many international students must prove their funds before they will have their CAS issued.

It is therefore very important that you plan appropriately so that you can make the necessary payment deadlines. International students are rarely allowed to alter their payment installments so please be sure to budget yourself and pay your tuition fees early if possible.

You will not be able to pay your tuition fees in cash so please arrange that your first installment is made before you travel to the UK as you will not be able to open a bank account before you enrol.

Follow our advice on the payment of fees to secure a place on your chosen course, then you’ll be ready to enjoy your university experience.
