Once you have received an offer of a place at the International Study Centre, a confirmation payment of £1000 is required to secure your place (plus any StudyCare Insurance fees applicable). This consists of a £500 deposit and £500 in advance fees. The deposit is held to cover damages and any other incidental expenses. Any monies left at the end of your course will be returned to you.

The balance of tuition fees can be paid:
  • For programmes of study lasting three terms or more: termly, one month before the start of each academic term, or in full in advance.
  • For two-term (Pre-Masters) courses: in full in advance.

Accommodation fees

An Accommodation Confirmation Deposit (ACP) of £2000 must be paid pre-arrival. The remaining balance must be paid to the University when due, after arrival, as per their accommodation Terms and Conditions.

Making a payment

We accept payment by cheque, Sterling bank draft, telegraphic transfer or credit card. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards. Payments by credit and debit card are subject to a surcharge, but this is waived if fees are paid one month in advance of the course start date.
