How to pay your tuition fees
If you’re an undergraduate or postgraduate student from the UK, you may be able to receive financial support from the Government to help fund your studies.
The Government currently offers two types of loans that cover:
Note that postgraduate students are responsible for making their own payments, and you can apply for a loan – find out more information on this below.
Repayments
Both loans will need to be repaid after your studies, however generally you won’t have to start paying anything back until the April after you have finished your course once you are employed and earning above a specific amount. For more information on when you’ll start repaying, please refer to your student finance repayment plan Any loan remaining for students from England after 40 years will be written off. Other UK countries such as Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different thresholds around repayment.

Refunds
If you wish to request a refund please complete the refund form after you have read the below frequently asked questions.
A refund application can only be submitted by one of the three parties below:
– Student
– Recruiter
– Agent
The refund process can take 3-6 weeks. Please make sure that you monitor your emails for requests of further information. If the refund is due to withdrawal from studies, visa refusal, or university rejection, ensure that you have confirmed this with your recruiter or the registry team. Any delays in providing information or notifying relevant teams will result in refund delays. Submitting multiple forms will not expedite the refund process.
Funds may take up to 15 business days to be delivered to the source. Please note that this timeframe can be affected by bank holidays. If a third party was used for the payment, it is your responsibility to follow up with them directly.
Due to anti-money laundering regulations, we are required to return funds to the original payment source, including any third parties that may have been involved.
As part of our compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, we are required to process refunds to the original payment sources. This includes any third-party payment methods involved in the transaction. In cases where multiple payment sources were used for the original purchase, the refund will be allocated proportionally based on the source details.
Please note that:
• If third parties (such as payment providers or financial institutions) were involved in the original transaction, the refund will be returned to them accordingly.
• The breakdown of the refund will reflect the various sources used in the transaction, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Fees will differ according to partner university. For full clarification of fees, please refer to the Terms and Conditions outlined in your offer.
Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions outlined in your offer to determine eligibility including mitigating factors that may affect refund amount. Rejected or reduced refunds will be referred to the Terms and Conditions accepted in the offer.
You will only be contacted regarding your refund application should the refund team require further information or clarification regarding the application (please monitor your emails to prevent delays in the refund process.) The refunds team will also contact you when the refund is approved or rejected with details of reasoning. Please refer to projected refund processing time and refrain from requesting updates.
Once a refund application has been submitted and you have informed either your recruiter or the registry team of intention of refund you do not need to do anything else. Please monitor your emails for requests of further information or clarification. Any delays in providing information or notifying relevant teams will result in refund delays. Submitting multiple forms will not expedite the refund process.
To comply with anti-money laundering regulations, all refunds must be returned to the original payment source(s), including any third-party services used during the original transaction.
If your original payment involved multiple sources, the refund will be split proportionally and returned to each source accordingly.
Important:
If you used a third-party payment service (such as a friend’s card, a payment platform, or a financial intermediary), it is your responsibility to contact them directly to follow up on the refund once it has been processed.
