Research student queries
What is my fee for this year?
The price of courses varies depending on your start date, fee assessment status and exact programme. Because there are so many variables we cannot list all course costs, if you have a question about the cost of your course please see: Contact us
How do I make a payment?
See: How to pay
Is there a discount for paying in full in advance?
No, however there is currently no charge for paying in instalments.
What instalments can I pay in?
Research students can pay in full before completing their registration or in two instalments. The first instalment of 50% must be paid before or at registration and the remaining 50% must be paid 5 months after their start date on the 1st of the month by Direct Debit from a UK bank account. This must be a current account and not a savings account. Alternative methods of payment are not acceptable.
Student wishing to set up an instalment plan can do so during online registration. To complete this step you must be in a position to input your UK bank account details and we must have received the payment of the first 50%.

I have tried to register but I have to set up a UK bank account – what do I do?
You can pay in full to complete your registration. If you would like to pay in two instalments you may be eligible for deferred registration that in most cases is valid for one month from your start date. This gives you limited access and time to set up a UK bank account.
