Deposits for entry in 2012/13

The University has introduced a £2000 deposit to be paid by all applicants who are made an offer to selected courses within the University's Business School for session 2012/13. This is due to an unprecedented number of applications and offers made. 

The list at the foot of this page shows the courses that require a deposit and the status of the course in terms of whether it remains open for applications and whether deposits are still required. If you are made an offer for any of the courses below the University will write to you and request a deposit with information on how to pay your deposit.  Information on the terms and conditions of deposits (ie when a deposit may be refunded), please refer to below. 

Terms and Conditions of the Deposit

The £2,000 deposit referred to within your offer level may be refunded in certain circumstances, minus a £200 handling fee.

Each individual request for repayment will be considered, but the following guidelines will apply:

Deposits WILL be refunded to applicants under the following circumstances:

  1. Where the University is unable to offer you a place.
  2. Where the applicant has personal circumstances such as illness, bereavement or other family situations that has prevented them coming to the UK. Medical or other proof may be requested.
  3. Applicant can prove that they have applied for a Visa to attend the University of Glasgow, but this has been refused. The applicant must have shown ‘real intent' to study at the University of Glasgow but has been unable to get their visa.
  4. Applicant does not meet his / her conditions of offer: this may be  academic or language test requirements.

Deposits WILL NOT be refunded to applicants under the following circumstances:

  1. Applicant decides to go to another institution.
  2. Applicant cannot be released from work to study at the University of Glasgow.
  3. Applicant does not send completed documentation as requested in the condition of the offer: this may be required in order to prove that the conditions of offer have not been met for academic or language test reasons: failure to respond to requests for this information will result in non-repayment of deposit.
  4. Applicant has not secured funding to attend the University of Glasgow: this may be as a result of not being successful in applications for scholarships, OR simply not having sufficient funds in bank at time of visa application. This condition will apply unless it can be proven that there are clear mitigating circumstances which have significantly changed the individuals position since the time of application.
