You'll find everything you need here to pay your tuition fees. If you're a self-funded student, meaning you are responsible for tuition fee payments yourself or with support from a relative or friend, you'll find our early payment discount and payment plan options helpful.
You're responsible for ensuring that your fees are paid every year that you study with us. After registering, you'll receive an invoice. This gives you the full breakdown of your tuition fees, any scholarship or discount applied and any payments made including deposits.
The fastest and easiest way to pay your fees is online but we also offer alternatives.
Early payment discounts
arrow_forward
If your annual tuition fees are £5,000 or more, and you're a self-funded student, you may be eligible for an early payment discount of 5% off your tuition fees. This is available regardless of whether you are entering in Year 1, 2 or 3 of your chosen course.
As a self-funded student from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales or Europe, you must pay your tuition fees in full before the first day of teaching to qualify for the early payment discount each year.
As an international self-funded student, entering your first year of study you must meet the tuition fee deposit deadline and pay your remaining tuition fees before the first day of teaching to qualify for the early payment discount. This is available regardless of whether you are entering in Year 1, 2 or 3 of your chosen course.
Thereafter, international self-funded students must also pay tuition fees in full before the first day of teaching to qualify for the early payment discount for each subsequent year.
Discounts are deducted from your tuition fee minus any scholarships awarded.
International deposits

International students, who are not studying via distance learning, are required to pay a £6,000 deposit. This secures your place on your chosen course and also enables the university to issue your CAS statement, which is a crucial part of any visa application to study in Scotland.
If you hold a conditional and/or unconditional offer you can pay your deposit. Your deposit will be refunded if you do not meet your offer conditions or are not successful in obtaining your visa.
Deposits can be paid online or by bank transfer. The quickest and easiest method is online
Pay your deposit by the dates below to ensure you have enough time to apply for any visa you require. You may also be eligible for an early payment discount (see tab above) by meeting the following deadlines.
Deposit deadlines for international applicants: Once a deposit payment has been made, we'll be in touch within two working days to notify you of any remaining documentation required for your CAS to be issued. Please note that we often require financial and immigration documentation to help ensure that your visa application will be successful once a CAS is issued.
