91Ö±²¥

To ensure that we offer you the best possible experience as a 91Ö±²¥ student, we can only accept a limited number of students on each course. By paying a tuition fee deposit you'll indicate to us that you definitely intend to take up your place.

For this reason, we'll only arrange your CAS number once you've paid your deposit.

Your tuition fee deposit will be deducted from your tuition fee when you register at the University.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the University of 91Ö±²¥ ask for a tuition fee deposit?

Places on courses at the University of 91Ö±²¥ are competitive, and we receive many more applications than we have places available. Paying a deposit will show us that you definitely intend to take up your study place, and we shouldn't offer it to another student.

Who pays a fee deposit?

Fee deposits are normally paid by International fee-paying students who have accepted an Unconditional offer of a place on a campus-based postgraduate taught course.

Some of our most competitive postgraduate taught courses ask International students to pay a deposit when they accept a Conditional offer.

Will I be required to pay a tuition fee deposit?

Paying a tuition fee is compulsory for all International students on campus-based postgraduate taught courses, unless you're sponsored by a University-recognised sponsor (see below).

My tuition fee is going to be paid by a sponsor. Will I still need to pay a tuition fee deposit?

This will depend on who's sponsoring you and by how much.

If at least half of your tuition fee will be sponsored by a body recognised by the University (for example your national government or your employer), you won't need to pay a deposit. If we ask you to pay a deposit, you'll need to send us proof of this sponsorship arrangement.

If your sponsorship covers less than half your tuition fee, and/or your sponsor is not recognised by the University of 91Ö±²¥ (for example a family member), you'll still have to pay the deposit.

How much is the tuition fee deposit?

The deposit is £1000 (£5000 for applicants to our DClinDent courses).

How will I be able to pay the tuition fee deposit?

The quickest and easiest way to pay is by credit or debit card using our online payment system. You can also pay by bank transfer.

We'll give you more information about how to pay, including the link to our online payment system, when we send your offer letter.

Will I receive a receipt after I've paid a deposit?

The University doesn't automatically issue paper receipts for payments made. However you will receive email confirmation of your payment if you make it by credit or debit card online.

When do I need to pay the deposit?

You'll only need to pay the deposit when we ask you in an offer letter. For most courses, this will be the Unconditional offer letter. The offer letter asking you to pay will include information about any deadlines for your course.

We won't be able to arrange your CAS number or send you information about registering at the University until you've paid the deposit.

Will I be rejected for not paying my deposit on time?

If we give you a deadline in your offer letter and you don't pay your deposit by that deadline, we may withdraw your application.

Can I get my CAS number before paying my deposit?

By accepting your offer and paying a tuition fee deposit you're indicating that you definitely intend to take up your study place. Therefore, we won't arrange the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number necessary for a UK Student visa until you've paid your fee deposit.

You can find more information about the CAS number application process on our CAS application webpages.

I've applied for more than one course. Will I need to pay a deposit for each course?

No, you'll only have to pay a deposit for the course you decide to study.

When you log into the online payment system you'll be asked to indicate the choice number of the course you've accepted. You'll then be able to pay the deposit for this course. The online system won't allow you to make more than one payment.
