As an externally-funded student the process of paying your tuition fees will depend on the type of external funding you receive. The payment of all fees and charges is always your responsibility, in accordance with the terms and conditions you signed when you accepted your offer to study. Terms and conditions What does externally-funded mean? You may be considered an externally-funded student if you are: funded by a sponsor receiving financial support from your government receiving a tuition fee student loan Receiving funds direct from your sponsor If you are receiving funds for your students fees direct from your sponsor then you are not considered as externally funded. Please visit our self-funded page for more information. Self-funded student payment methods Payment of fees is your responsibility If your sponsor does not pay the fees invoice within 30 days of the invoice date then you will be liable for payment in full. If you have applied for external funding but it is not confirmed when you start your programme of study, you will need to make alternative arrangements for payment. This would require you to pay your student fees like a self-funded student. Payment processes for externally-funded students Pay your tuition fees with UK government funding How your fees are paid will depend on your level of study and the type of funding you have. In all cases, you will need to start the process by applying for funding. Pay your tuition fees with an international educational loan If you have an international educational loan to pay for your tuition fees, then you may need to provide proof of your loan and pay for any tuition fees not covered by your funding. Pay your tuition fees if you have sponsorship or a scholarship If you have an approved scholarship provider or sponsor, then it is their responsibility to pay either all or part of your tuition fees. If there are any leftover fees to pay, then you are responsible for making a payment.
