Paying your tuition fees

You can pay your tuition fees with a student loan, or by Direct Debit, debit card, credit card, cheque, bank transfer or cash.

Tell us how you plan to pay

You must say how you will pay your fees when you register online as a student.

For some payment methods, you can set up your payment during the registration process.

For other methods, you must tell us how you plan to pay during online registration, and then complete your payment in person.

Student loans

If your fee status is Home or VEU, and you are starting your first undergraduate course, you may be able apply for a tuition fee loan from the UK Government.

If you have applied for a student loan, do not select another payment method during registration or you could be charged the fees twice. If your loan details do not appear during registration, contact Student Finance.

If you don’t want to take out the loan, you can pay your fees to us directly.
