Self-funded
As a self-funded student you can securely pay your tuition fees in full by card or by bank transfer, or in most cases we can agree for you to pay by instalments.
What does self-funded mean?
You may be considered to be a self-funded student if you are:
- funding your own studies
- getting financial help from family or friends
- receiving financial assistance direct from an external funder (excluding educational loans from a government agency)
Receiving an educational loan
If you are receiving an educational loan then you are not considered to be a self-funded student.
