Are you paying your fees through Student Finance?
Applying for a tuition fee loan
If you wish to receive a tuition fee loan and you are eligible then you should have already applied for a funding package from Student Finance.
Further information about applying for a tuition fee loan, maintenance loan/grant and to download application forms or to apply online is available at:

- (Scotland)
- (Northern Ireland)
Confirmation and payment of your tuition fee loan to the University
The Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the University so you do not have to pay tuition fees.
If you have applied in good time and by the deadline, the University should receive confirmation that you will be receiving a tuition fee loan and maintenance grant/loan, directly from the Student Loans Company (SLC) in advance of your arrival at the University.
Maintenance loan/grant payment to you
If you are applying for a maintenance loan (repayable) or grant (non-repayable) this will be paid directly into your bank account approximately five days after your course start date. The University will inform SLC that you are 'in attendance' and had your identification confirmed in person after you have registered; this will prompt the first payment.
What if I have not received written confirmation of my Tuition Fee Loan when I register?
If you have not received confirmation of your funding package from Student Finance by the time you come to register, don't worry. The University will give you a period of Temporary Registration for up to six weeks while you wait for the information from Student Finance to arrive.
NHS-funded courses
If you are being funded by a student loan, bursary, or sponsored, it is your responsibility to ensure your tuition fees are paid. If the University does not receive payment you will become liable for the tuition fee.
Sponsored students
If you are being sponsored by an external organisation, our Sponsored students page will help you find out about what you need to do.

Bursaries
You can find information about which bursaries may be available on our undergraduate fees and funding pages.
Will the University send a receipt for any payment made in advance?
Due to the high volume of payments received at this time of year, the University does not generally issue receipts; however, if you pay your fees online, in advance of your arrival, the card/account holder will receive an email confirming payment.
What happens if I default on my payment?
If a payment does not reach the University as required and you have not made contact in advance:
- Your registration will be subject to immediate review and could be cancelled.
- Your computer facilities could be cancelled.
- Your registration may only be renewed once you have paid all of your fee or have made a satisfactory arrangement to pay your fee.
Be advised that the University reserves the right to insist that payment is made in full at the start of each year of study. It is therefore in your interests to honour all payments if you wish to continue to pay in instalments in future years.
