How to pay your tuition fees

International students are required to pay a minimum tuition fee deposit of £5,500.

(If you are a sponsored student, please see the relevant section below before making any payments.

Please note, if you are a Student Route visa student and have made an additional payment after you have been issued a CAS, you do not need to contact us to amend your CAS. You should provide any additional payment receipts as evidence of further funds paid with your visa application.

As per the Terms and Conditions of Offer, you are required to fulfil 50% of your tuition fee payment on or before the university enrolment. This includes the minimum deposit payments already made (i.e. your £5,500 deposit) and any other payment. If you haven’t paid the 50% of your tuition fee, you will be required to do so during the university enrolment.

Additional information for international students

If a university approved sponsor is paying your fees, you are exempt from paying a deposit providing:

  • You have provided a valid sponsor letter by email to the admissions team along with your acceptance form.
  • You hand in a financial guarantee letter on enrolment. If the University does not receive a financial guarantee letter, you will be invoiced and held liable for payment of fees.
  • The financial guarantee letter should be on Company/Sponsor letterhead and include:
    • Student number;
    • Student name;
    • The amount or the percentage of the sponsorship;
    • Relevant contact person and their email address at the company;
    • Any purchase order or reference, required by the sponsor;
    • A VAT registration number is applicable;
    • Full address of organisation.
    • The sponsor letter/financial guarantee meets the UKVI requirements if you are studying on a Student Route visa – you can find more information on page 50 of the UKVI Guidance documentation here

Unfortunately, Northumbria University is not currently able to accept financial guarantee/sponsor letters from students sponsored by:

  • The Libyan Cultural Attaché, London
  • Nigerian sponsor organisations
  • Ghanaian sponsor organisations

Students who have financial guarantee letters should follow the instructions in the “Paying your Tuition Fee Deposit” section of this webpage and pay their deposit and tuition fee as a self-funded student would. Should the sponsor subsequently be in a position to pay then the University can accept payment from the sponsor and in return will refund the student.

In addition to your tuition fees, you should also allow enough funds to cover your living expenses for the duration of your studies. The actual amount that you will need depends on your lifestyle, but the UKVI recommend that the minimum amount required by a single student to cover basic living expenses (e.g. accommodation, heating, food) is approximately £1,334 in London.

If you are applying for a Student Route Visa to enter the UK, please refer to the information on maintenance requirements to support your visa. It is important that you read this information very carefully as it is your responsibility to ensure that you hold the correct funds required for your visa application otherwise your visa may be refused.

Our international students are required to pay a deposit towards their tuition fees. This information will be detailed in your offer letter.
