Pay your fees

Visit our how to pay page to find out how to pay for your tuition fees.

Insurance

All international students should have accident and medical insurance for the duration of their time in the UK. This will make you feel more secure because not having the proper cover can be extremely difficult and expensive.

You can take out our own StudyCare Insurance Plus policy or alternative cover with a third party. The StudyCare Insurance Plus policy covers loss of personal possessions as well as providing health and medical insurance. It is designed for international students while studying abroad and covers you until the end of your programme. Please let your admissions advisor know if you wish to purchase our StudyCare Insurance Plus.

Guardianship

From September 1st 2019, all students under the age of 18 at the start of their course will receive our guardianship service free of charge. A guardian will support you during your time in the UK until you turn 18. More information will be provided after you apply.

Scholarships

Every year, the University awards 18 top performing students at the International College a progression scholarship worth £1,000.

You could also apply for other scholarships through the University:

  • International Merit Undergraduate Scholarship – worth 50% of annual undergraduate tuition fee
  • International Merit Postgraduate Scholarship - worth 50% of annual postgraduate tuition fee.
