Postgraduate funding from Student Finance England and Wales

This type of postgraduate funding is paid directly to you, and not to the University. We will invoice you for the full amount of your tuition fees.

If you have applied to Student Finance England or Student Finance Wales for a masters or doctorate loan and been granted funding, you will receive this directly from the loan provider. Your funding will be paid to you in 3 equal instalments across the year.

You are responsible for using this funding to pay your tuition fees to the University. You are also responsible for paying any tuition fees not covered by your funding.  

We will send you an invoice for the full amount you need to pay at the start of your programme, once you have registered as a student. 

Register online as a student and arrange payment of your student academic fees

As part of matriculation, you will need to complete online registration and either confirm your funding or arrange payment of your student academic fees. This is a required step in the registration process, and in most cases, you will be able to pay in instalments.


How to complete your online registration 

You will receive an email to your University of Edinburgh email account to let you know when you can access the online student registration form and pay your student academic fees.

Payment options

Pay in instalments 

To pay in instalments you will need to provide card details and other information, including the cardholder’s address, so that we can set up an instalment plan. We will use the card details you provide to set up an instalment plan and take payment on scheduled dates.  

Instalment dates will be displayed during online student registration for reference. These dates may change if your plan cannot be set up before the first payment is due. If this happens, we will email you and the revised payment schedule will appear in My finance channel in MyEd.

For postgraduate students with a UK government loan, RCP instalments come out on 3 fixed dates: 

  • 33% of your fees will be taken on 3 October
  • 33% of your fees will be taken on 3 February
  • 34% of your fees will be taken on 3 May 

Please note, this is different to the standard instalment plan schedule that you will see on the main pay by instalment page. 

Once you have registered and your invoice has been issued, your instalment plan will be set up and the payment dates and amounts will appear in My finance, usually within one working day.

Do not make any other form of payment method against this instalment seven days prior to its due date to prevent being charged twice.

Or 

Pay in full

You can pay in full during online registration using a credit or debit card, by Flywire bank transfer or an online payment platform.

If, after registering, you decide to pay your student academic fees in full instead of instalments, you can do so through My Finance channel in MyEd.

Do not make any other form of payment method against an existing instalment seven days prior to its due date to prevent being charged twice.
