How to Pay
Home Students
If your tuition fees are not paid by a sponsor or Student Finance, you will need to pay them yourself.
Whether you are paying in full or setting up an approved payment plan either option needs to be completed within 21 days of enrolment. If you do not complete this step your right to study may be affected as outlined in the University General Regulations
Please refer to any correspondence you may have received in relation to Tuition Fees for the amount you will be expected to pay.
