Finance policies

This policy details the required payment terms for Tuition Fees due . It applies to all students of the University, including those who are currently enrolled and those who have accepted a place and intend to enrol. Policy is in accordance to the academic year where study commences or continues if re-enrolling. There may be more than one edition published on the website (as former students may need to check previous policy) so please ensure you are viewing the correct edition for your academic year of study. No fundamental changes will ever be made to a policy ‘in-year’ the policy is published before the academic year begins and is enforced for the duration of that year of study.
