Student Academic Fees
Your student fees must be paid in full within 30 days of receiving your invoice, unless you are paying by instalment. The payment options available to you will depend on how you are funding your studies.
You may be considered to be:
- an externally-funded student if you are receiving financial support from your government, being funded by a sponsor or have arranged a tuition fee student loan
- a self-funded student if you are funding your own studies, getting financial help from family or friends, or are receiving financial assistance direct from an external funder
- an internally-funded student if you are receiving a scholarship, award or other funding from the University which is not paid directly to you
