Pay your tuition fees with an Indian bank loan
Once you secure your loan, you need to follow the steps provided by your loan provider so that you receive your funding in time for the start of your programme. We will issue you an invoice that tells you the exact amount you owe.
How we process an Indian bank loan
We will issue you an invoice that tells you the exact amount you owe and if your loan does not cover the full amount of your tuition fees, then you must pay the rest.
Your bank loan provider may provide the full funding to you in one payment which is payable within 30 days of the invoice date or they may choose to pay by instalments which are payable on the dates below, payments will be by Bank Transfer to the University of Edinburgh. Details on how to pay can be found in the section below - How to make a payment for the rest of your tuition fees.
The University will set up an instalment plan, For most students receiving their invoice before 21st September 2023 instalments are payable on three set dates:
- 3 October
- 3 December
- 3 February
However, if your invoice is received after 21st September 2023, then your instalment plan dates will be different.
You can review your MyFinance for the balance of your tuition fee account at any stage and when payment is due.

Pay the rest of your tuition fees
The value of your Indian bank loan is converted to British pound sterling (GBP). Due to the conversion, this means you will have to pay any difference in value after the loan payment is taken.
We will issue you an invoice that tells you the exact amount you owe. This will be sent to your University student email account and will show in My finance.
You are responsible for any tuition fees not covered by your funding.
How to make a payment for the rest of your tuition fees
You will need to make a manual payment for any difference in value immediately after:
-
the loan is paid (if it is paid in one payment)
- If the loan does not cover all of your tuition fees then the value received will be allocated to your instalments by date order to reduce the value due at that time and you can pay towards the balance due with the full balance being paid by the date quoted as your last instalment date as detailed in MyFinance if you have not already paid in full prior to this date.
You can pay by one of the following options:
- card
- bank transfer or online payment platform
You will receive an email reminder to tell you how much you will need to pay manually. You can also check My finance after the loan payment date to see how much you owe.
Check My finance
You can find a record of your invoice and any fee payments in My finance. You can find My finance by logging into MyEd.
Do you need help?
A card payment may be refused if:
-
there is not enough money in the cardholder’s account
-
the card limit is not high enough
-
the bank suspects the payment may be fraudulent and prevents it going out
You may need to pay other fees for your programme (for example, module fees or dissertation fees).
You can find out if you need to pay extra fees for your programme on the University’s degree finder.
The amount you owe will appear in My finance after your invoice has been raised.
Module fees and individual course fees
Any module or individual course fees must be paid as soon as possible and before the start date of your course. You cannot pay these as instalments.
Dissertation fees and postgraduate research costs
Dissertation fees and postgraduate research costs can be paid as part of your instalment plan.
If you have paid a deposit towards your programme, this will be deducted from the total amount of fees you have to pay.
Your deposit will not appear on your invoice.
If you pay your deposit early in the year, there may be a delay before this shows on your student account.
