Paying your postgraduate fees
How to pay your postgraduate tuition fees
Tuition fees vary depending on the course you choose and whether you are a home or international student, and whether you are studying a Masters, research or other type of postgraduate degree/course. Details of the postgraduate tuition fees can be found on each course page.
Check the information below for each of the common ways fees are paid:
We recognise that students need flexibility when paying fees. We provide a range of payment options to suit everyone. The fee can either be paid in full or spread over manageable instalments by Direct Debit.
If you, your family, or friends are paying your fees:
Once you have completed Online Registration you will receive an invoice confirming your tuition fees for the year, and the due date by which you need to pay or apply to pay in instalments by Direct Debit.
You can either make a single payment for your tuition fees:
- Credit card/debit card/Paypal online
- Direct bank transfer/online banking
Single payments can be made for multiple years’ tuition fees, for example to benefit from advantageous exchange rates.
You can also apply to pay your fees in instalments by Direct Debit.

If we fail to receive payment when requested, a default charge of £50 or 1.5% (whichever is greater) will be charged to cover these costs.
