International Students

1. Course fee deposits

For international applicants enrolling in September 2013 and January 2014, the University requires a minimum deposit of £3500. The deposit should by paid by 1 August 2013 for the September 2013 intake and 1 December 2013 for the January 2014 intake.

This deposit is required to secure a place on the programme and to enable the university to issue a CAS statement required for visa applications.

Students holding both a conditional or unconditional offer can make a deposit payment. The deposit will only be refunded to students who do not meet their conditions or are not successful in obtaining their visa. CAS statements are normally issued 48 hours after deposit payment has been received.  

Deposits can be paid online or by bank transfer. The quickest and easiest method is online. See our Methods of Payment section below for full details.
