Tuition fee deposits

Undergraduates

If you are an International student who needs a Student visa to enter and study in the UK, you will need to pay the £3,000 or £10,000* tuition fee deposit before a Confirmation of Acceptance for Study (CAS) number can be issued. We recommend you pay the deposit as soon as possible, and at least three months before the start of your course. Your CAS number can only be issued during the six months before the start of your course.

You pay using your local currency here.

Your deposit will be taken as a payment towards your full fee payment or your first instalment.
