Scholarships will only be deducted from balance after the 50% deposit has been paid.

If you are unsure how much you need to pay or need help with payment, please contact BCU’s Collections Team at collections@bcu.ac.uk

If you have told us that you are getting a Student Loans Company (SLC) loan you do not need to pay a deposit, however if your loan is not approved you will become liable for paying your tuition fees.

If you’re an undergraduate student, your tuition fees will be paid directly to BCU. However, if you’re a postgraduate student your fees will be paid to your bank account, so you’ll need to ensure this is paid to BCU as soon as you receive it.
