Important information about non-consumer cards and unauthorised payment channels

Non-consumer cards such as Corporate Purchasing/Procurement cards are not accepted at Queen Mary University of London to pay for fees. Our authorised payment channels are Online using consumer cards; Direct bank transfer to our Barclays account; or through our trusted partners Transfermate and Flywire.

Refunds will only be made by the same method, back to the same card from which the original payment was made.

Your fee status determines the rate of fees that you will pay for your course at Queen Mary

Your fee status is assessed by the Admissions Office during your application process.

If you believe you have been assessed incorrectly, you must complete a Fee Status Questionnaire and return it alongside the relevant supporting information as soon as possible and by no later than 31 October (for programmes starting in September) or within two weeks of your enrolment deadline (for programmes starting in any other month).

Please be advised that your fee status is shown to you during the Pre-Enrolment task within the 'Personal, Financial and Academic details' section. If you believe your fee status is incorrect then you should not finish Pre-Enrolment. Completing the task means that you have accepted your assessed fee status and accept liability for the associated fees. If you have already completed it then you should see the Admissions Fees Status webpage for guidance on appealing.

Your invoice will always quote your full tuition fees as shown on your offer letter. The invoice will not deduct any upfront payments or deposit payments.

You are not expected to pay the full invoice amount if you have already made a payment towards your fees. You are only expected to pay the balance after deducting your upfront payments.

An up-to-date statement of your account is shown under the MyFinance section of MySIS. This will show your current balance and amount to pay.

Example:

Total fee: £20,000

Deposit paid £2,000

(Invoice will show £20,000)

Amount to pay: £20,000 - £2000 =  £18,000

If you are paying in full before enrolment to take advantage of the 1% discount you must also deduct the 1% discount. The 1% discount is against the invoice amount. In the example above the 1% discount would be £200 therefore you would pay £18,000 - £200 = £17,800

The university may increase future university fees for continuing students by an amount defined each academic year. The increase in university fees for unregulated university fees in 22/23 will be 1.8 %. There are certain exceptions, such as for students returning from a period of interruption, students progressing from Year 0 to Year 1 in an undergraduate degree with an integrated foundation year and medical/dental students progressing from the non-clinical to clinical years of their programme.

When the inflationary increase is applied, fees are generally rounded up to the nearest £10 or £50.

Future fee increases for unregulated fee will not be more than 3%

Some courses include compulsory field trips, the cost of which is additional to tuition fees. You will be notified of any additional fees with your offer of admission.

It is possible that your department has not yet notified the Fees Office of your scholarship. Please email a copy of your scholarship confirmation letter to feesponsor@qmul.ac.uk and we will update your invoice.
