Student Academic Fees
Your student fees must be paid in full on or before matriculation at the start of each new academic year, 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
The University has introduced Financial Registration for the 2021/22 academic year
By completing the Financial Registration form you will be guided to the payment option that best fits with your funding. All students should complete the form after finalising academic registration:
