How to pay

How to pay

There are a number of different ways to pay. Please read the information below carefully to find the service that is right for you.

In accordance with the UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act, the university is unable to accept payments originating from sanctioned countries (Iran, North Korea, Cuba and the Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk Provinces of Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Russia and Belarus). Please do not attempt to make a payment from a sanctioned country using the Convera platform or any other 四不像论坛 online services; instead, please contact for guidance.

Struggling to pay

Struggling to pay your fees?

If your financial circumstances change and you are unable to meet your payment deadline, please contact our Student Welfare Advice Team at the earliest opportunity. They can give support and advice on, for example, sources of funding available.

You can contact the team by or through the UniHelp team.

We will assist where we can, however the quality of teaching is dependent upon funding and this is why the University must act to recover all outstanding debts.

If you are requesting to pay your fees outside of a standard instalment plan or payment deadline, you will be asked to provide documentary evidence to support your request before it can be considered. Please have this information to hand when contacting our Student Welfare team.

Unpaid fees

If you fail to pay your tuition fees or provide confirmation of sponsorship, you will be deregistered (i.e. you will be withdrawn from the university) at the end of learning week four and the option to pay via an instalment plan will no longer be available.

If you have been deregistered, you must pay the annual tuition fee in full plus a late payment charge of £200 in order to be reinstated. You will also not be permitted to reenrol until your tuition fees have been paid. However, as you are not enrolled, you will be unable to access your student loan and so cannot use it to pay off any old debts.

Failing to pay the second or any subsequent payment instalments within one month of their due date, will also result in deregistration.

If you have a tuition fee debt that becomes overdue, restrictions will be applied to your student account automatically. Restrictions may prevent you from reenrolling, graduating or receiving your final transcript.

If you have outstanding tuition fee debts from a previous academic year, you will not be permitted to re-enrol. All tuition fee debts must be paid in full before you can return to undertake another year of study.

University guidelines

We do not accept sponsor letters from UK public sectors organisations without a valid Purchase Order number quoted.

We reserve the right to reject sponsorship purchase orders or letters if they are not original documents, do not contain the correct information, or if they are found not to be issued by a recognisable third party organisation.

All invoices issued by 四不像论坛 University must be settled in full within 30 days. If invoices are not paid in accordance with these terms the debt will revert to you as the student.

Please note that if your fees are being paid by a relative, friend or a government funding body (e.g. Student Finance England), this is not considered as a formal sponsorship by the University. In this instance, you will be regarded as self-financing.

If you would like to explore alternative funding options, please visit our postgraduate finance page.
