Keeping you safe and secure
We have to comply with strict Government regulations designed to stop money laundering. Unfortunately, this means our payment methods are restricted, and we cannot take payment from you in cash. We realise that this is inconvenient, and we hope that you understand this is for the long-term safety of our students.
Refunds
If you are eligible for a refund as per the University Fee Regulations, you may submit a refund request via MySIS under the ‘My Finance’ section.

If you are an international or postgraduate student, there is a £50 non-refundable charge for paying in instalments. This charge does not apply to home fee paying undergraduate students.
To arrange a payment plan please refer to the Payment plan guidance page.
Discounts
Students whose university fees are £10,000 or higher will receive a 1% discount if they pay their fees in full before enrolment.

It does not apply to Home fee paying undergraduate students and Channel Islands or Isle of Man students, where the fees are regulated by the UK government.

You may be reinstated once you have paid the outstanding fees but there is a charge and you will usually have to wait at least a year.
