Please be aware that any scholarships or bursaries you may have been awarded will reduce the overall fee charge

1^st instalment £6,500 (minus any deposit received)

2^nd instalment £3,250.00

No other instalment options are available, overpayments will count towards the next instalment.

Appeal against Withdrawal of study for non-payment of Tuition Fees

Enrolment Instalment

Students will receive enrolment reminders. Students who do not complete enrolment because they are unable to pay their enrolment instalment will be withdrawn in line with the enrolment regulations. Students may apply to suspend their studies by contacting their Faculty or The College. Should the student be able to pay their fees shortly after withdrawal they may submit a Permission to Enrol form for consideration. 

Other Instalments

Students will receive automated tuition fee reminders whilst  fees are outstanding.  Following this we will be sending appeal forms via email, which students will need to complete and return.  The appeal form will allow students to apply for an extended tuition deadline date if needed.  If the outstanding payment is not received by the extended deadline date, students will be Withdrawn from study.

Non-payment of Tuition Fees 

Students will receive automated tuition fee reminders whilst  fees are outstanding.  Following this we will be sending appeal forms via email, which students will need to complete and return.  The appeal form will allow students to apply for an extended tuition deadline date if needed.  If the outstanding payment is not received by the extended deadline date, students will be Withdrawn from study.

Provisionally Enrolled or Temporarily enrolled students are not part of the appeals process.
