If you have any questions about your fee status, which are not answered below, or are having financial difficulties and need guidance, get in touch with our student advisers.
If you have any additional queries about paying your fees, contact your local finance office.
Fee status
When you have a course offer, the Admissions Office will assess your fee status. To do this, they may ask you to complete a fee assessment form, which is usually sent to you with the course offer letter.
If you're unsure whether your fee status has been assessed correctly, get in touch with student advice.
Your fee status is assessed before the start of the course and normally remains the same for the duration of the course. However, in certain circumstances, fee status can change part-way through a course.
For example, if you are granted refugee status in the UK during your course, your fee status may change from international to home status.
If you qualify for a change in fee status part-way through your course, you will not normally be charged home fees until the beginning of the next academic year.
You will always pay the tuition fee which relates to your year of entry, not your year of application. If you have chosen to defer your place until the next academic year, your tuition fees will be in line with that entry point.
Detailed information about the qualifying rules for Home fee status can be found on the UKCISA website.
If you would like to discuss your fee status or you have been paying international fees and believe you may now qualify for Home fees, contact student advice.
