Pay your tuition fees by instalment

Step 1: Register how you will pay your tuition fees (if you have not done so)

This form gives you directions on how to pay your tuition fees and lets our team know how you intend to pay your fees. If you have not yet filled it out, you should do this before setting up your instalment plan. 

You will need to complete this form once at the start of every academic year, or whenever the way you fund your studies changes.

You do not need to complete this form if you have done so previously in the current academic year. Only complete it again if the way you fund your studies has changed. If you do not need to complete the form again, go to step 2.

Step 2: Enter card details to set up your Recurring Card Payment (RCP) 

To pay by instalment, you need to provide card details and other information, including your student number and the cardholder’s address within 7 days of receiving your invoice. This process is called the 'RCP Mandate instruction'. 

We will use the card details you provide to take payment on scheduled dates throughout each year of your programme.  

Your RCP will remain in place until you complete your programme, unless it is cancelled or your card expires.

What card can you use

You can set up your RCP with a debit card or credit card. It does not have to be a card for a UK bank account, and it does not have to be your card provided you have the permission of the card holder (for example, it could be your parent's or guardian’s).  

Check the card limit

Make sure that the limit on the card you use is high enough for the payments that will come out. You can check with your bank or card provider if you’re not sure.  

Exchange rates charge

If you are making a card payment in British pound sterling using a non-UK card, then you may need to pay currency exchange rates and this will be charged by the bank or card provider.

The University does not charge a transaction fee for a debit card or credit card payment. 

Step 3: Complete your student registration online  

As part of the matriculation process, you will need to complete online registration before we can issue your invoice.   

After you complete registration, an invoice can be issued showing the total amount of tuition fees you owe. This will be sent to your University student email account.  

How to complete your student registration

To fully matriculate as a student, you will need to complete some other steps after registration.

Step 4: Wait for your instalment plan to be set up 

You will receive email confirmation that you have submitted your card details for your RCP. However, the instalment plan won’t be in place until we have received your invoice.   

Any module or individual course fees must be paid as soon as possible and before the start date of your course. You cannot pay these as instalments. 

Once we issue your invoice, we will set up your plan and the instalment dates and amounts will be visible on My Finance .

August to October is the busiest period for issuing invoices, so it may take several weeks to receive yours. This means your instalment plan may not be set up until shortly before the first payment date.  

If you are waiting for your payment plan to be set up and you have already contacted us, we would kindly ask you not to send any follow-up emails. This will help us get back to you sooner. Thank you for your patience. 

Check My finance 

Information about your instalment dates and payment amounts can be found on My finance once your plan has been set up. You will need to wait one working day before this information appears in My finance.

Before your plan has been confirmed you won’t see any information about it on My finance. You can find My finance by logging into MyEd.

Step 5: Check your instalment plan for dates and amounts

1st  Payment 50% of your tuition fees will be taken on 3 October 2024, additional programme costs will be taken on 5 October 2024

2nd Payment 25% of your tuition fees will be taken on 3 December 2024, additional programme costs will be taken on 5 December 2024

3rd Payment 25% of your tuition fees will be taken on 3 February 2025, additional programme costs will be taken on 5 February 2025

However, if your invoice is received after 21st September 2024, then your instalment plan dates will be different. 

Check MyFinance to confirm the date your payments will be collected on and payments will automatically be taken from the card details you have provided

The instalment plan will be set up to take payment providing an RCP instruction mandate is in place within 7 days of the Invoice date
