How to pay your tuition fees
Paying for your studies should be as straightforward as possible. Whether you're using a loan, self-funding, or being supported by an employer, here’s what you need to know.
Undergraduate Tuition Fee loan
If you’re eligible for an undergraduate student loan, the Student Loans Company (SLC) will pay your tuition fees directly to us. You won't receive the loan to your own account.
What to expect:
Before you start: apply for your tuition fee loan through the SLC (via Student Finance England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland) at least 6-8 weeks before your chosen start date. We can’t officially enrol you or allow you to start your course until your loan has been approved and verified by SLC.
Confirmation process: during your application, upload proof that you’ve applied for a tuition fee loan. Once your loan is approved, you'll need to upload proof of approval and we’ll confirm your registration with the SLC to confirm your enrolment.
No upfront costs: your tuition fees are fully covered by the loan, so you won’t need to pay out of pocket during your studies.
Postgraduate Master’s loan
If you qualify for a Postgraduate Master’s Loan, the government will pay the loan into your bank account. It’s your responsibility to arrange payments to us.
What to expect:
Applying for a loan: submit your loan application through your regional student finance body at least 6-8 weeks before your chosen start date to avoid delays. Ensure you borrow enough to cover both tuition fees and any living costs.
Payment schedule: loan payments are typically split into three instalments. Check your payment dates to plan ahead.
Making payments to us directly: once you start receiving your loan payments, you can choose to pay monthly, annually, or in full.

Making direct payments
If you’re funding your studies yourself, or using a Master's Loan to pay for your course, we offer flexible payment options to suit your circumstances.
What to expect:
Payment plans: you can pay monthly, annually, or in full. All payments are interest-free and you may qualify for a fee reduction on up-front payments.
How to pay: payments can be made securely via bank transfer or credit card.
Planning ahead: your first payment will be due in the second or third month of your studies.
Employer-funded
Many employers are happy to invest in their employees' professional development by covering tuition fees.
What to expect:
Arranging sponsorship: speak to your employer to discuss their willingness to pay for your studies. We can provide the information they need to support your application.
Payment options: your employer can pay monthly, annually, or in full. Payments are made via bank transfer or credit card.
