Tuition fees for online and on-campus degrees Tuition fees and funding: UK students

If you qualify for a Postgraduate Master’s Loan, the government will pay the loan into your bank account. It’s your responsibility to arrange payments to us.

What to expect:

• Applying for a loan: submit your loan application through your regional student finance body. Ensure you borrow enough to cover both tuition fees and any living costs.

• Payment schedule: loan payments are typically split into three instalments, with your first payment arriving once we’ve confirmed you’ve started your studies. Check your payment dates to plan ahead.

Advice for online degree students

• To officially be enrolled on your course, you’ll need to pay for your first module(s) (or your full programme upfront) to accept your unconditional offer. Since you'll receive your first loan payment only after you’ve started your course, you’ll need to plan for this payment separately. You must make your first payment at least 7 days before your start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available intake.

Advice for on-campus degree students

• To secure your place and enrol on your on-campus MSc, you’ll need to pay 33% of your tuition fee upfront – or pay in full if you prefer. If you’re using a government postgraduate loan, remember that your first loan payment will only be made after your course begins, so you’ll need to cover this initial payment yourself. Your 33% instalment or full upfront payment must be received before enrolment. If it’s not, your place will be deferred to the next available intake.

If you’re funding your studies yourself, or using a Master's Loan to pay for your course, we offer payment options to suit your circumstances. As part of securing your place, you’ll need to make a a payment before your course starts.
