• If you are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Nigeria, then you will pay £1,000 to secure your place for the January 2026 intake and conduct your pre-CAS interview.  If you pass your pre-CAS interview, then you will pay the remainder of your semester 1 fees (50% of your total tuition fees minus your initial deposit of £1,000).

There are two ways to pay.
