Fees and funding
Students who are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay a deposit of £3,000. When you receive an unconditional offer, and to secure your place, you will be asked to make a minimum deposit payment against your tuition fees, of £3,000. A deposit payment does not signify that we will issue you with a Certificate of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). We view it as a sign of your commitment to study, and part of a staged admissions process. A deposit is refundable, unless you are refused a visa on the grounds of forged documents being presented. In this case, the deposit is non-refundable.
