Even if you may have made arrangements with a student finance authority (for example SAAS) or a third party sponsor to pay your tuition fees on your behalf, you remain personally responsible for payment if they do not pay your tuition fees. It is your responsibility to resolve any disputes you may have with your student finance authority or third party sponsor. See Section 6.4 of the Terms and Conditions for more information.

If your tuition fees are not paid before the deadline and you don’t make alternative arrangements with us, there may be significant consequences for you. The University may ultimately end the Student Contract with you. See Section 6.7 of the Terms and Conditions for more information.

If you are a student on a postgraduate programme that requires a deposit, and you do not pay the deposit by the deadline for payment, the University may withdraw your offer and end the Student Contract. See Section 7.3 of the Terms and Conditions for more information.

The University has the right to increase tuition fees and other charges applicable to your programme each year in accordance with the University’s Tuition Fee Setting Policy and Process. See Section 6.3 of the Terms and Conditions for more information.
