How to Pay

Tuition fee deposit

All self-funded, full-time international applicants must pay a tuition fee deposit as a condition of their offer, to confirm your place and also assure the UK Visas and Immigration that you are a genuine student.

Sponsored students will need to provide a copy of their official financial sponsorship letter.

Details of how to make payment and the different payment plans available to you will included with your offer letter. If you have not received a copy of this please contact us on applyinternational@chester.ac.uk.

Payment options

Option 1: Full Fee Payment

We recommend that you pay your fees in full before the start date of your course. This ensures there are no complications upon your enrolment, and that your only financial consideration for the academic year is your living costs.

Option 2: Two Instalments

Alternatively, you can pay your fees in two installments. In this instance, you will be required to make a deposit payment to confirm your place and make an additional payment of 50% of the remaining balance before the start date of your course. The remaining balance of your tuition fees will be due within three months after of the course start, i.e. in January for September/October starters, April for January/February starters, and August for May starters (exact deadlines can be found in the financial information and regulations included with your offer letter).

Please note, students required to pay an increased deposit amount will not be required to pay again prior to enrolment, however, the entirety of the remaining balance is due within three months after the course start date. Please refer to the financial guidance attached to your offer letter for details.

There are four ways that payment can be made to the University. These methods can be used to make your initial deposit payment and any future payments toward your tuition fees. Please note, we do not accept cash payments.
