International Payments
If you are paying your fees from outside the UK, please make sure that you set up the transfer so that any international payment fees are deducted from your account. If the full payment for your fees is not received in our account, any shortfall will be advised to you and will need to be settled subsequently.
To avoid incurring high transfer fees, previous students have found that Wise offers a competitive service for making international payments.
Funding Information
Our Advanced Diploma is not eligible for UK undergraduate student loans (tuition fees or maintenance loans available from the government). Lots of our students choose to spread the cost of the course during their time with us, to help with financing their studies.
