Scholarships and fees

As an international student, here's how to prepare financially for your UK journey.

• Cover Your Costs: You'll need sufficient funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses while studying in the UK and be able to provide evidence of these.
• Deposit Payment: Your deposit confirms your commitment to study and starts the process for your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), needed for your UK student visa. For further details, visit Deadlines for entry.
• CAS Process: We'll begin processing your CAS once your deposit has been received and cleared by our bank.
• Tuition Fee Payments: Tuition fee deadlines are important so it’s important to plan ahead to ensure you can meet all instalment deadlines. 
• Opening a UK bank account: You cannot pay tuition fees in cash. Arrange for your first instalment to be paid before travelling to the UK, as you won’t be able to open a bank account until after you enrol.

By following these steps, you'll secure your place on your chosen course and be ready to make the most of your university experience with us.
