How to pay your short course fees
We look forward to welcoming you onto a course, and are grateful for prompt payment of short course fees. It is quick and easy to make a payment via the official University of Bristol Online Shop.
The online shop is simple and versatile - payments can be made via credit or debit card and can either be completed by you, or on your behalf by your admin or finance contact. Once you have paid your fees in full your course place will be confirmed. Step-by-step payment instructions are provided below, along with alternative payment options if you cannot use the online shop.
Important note: We endeavour to send a reminder via email once course fees are nearly due, but at busy times cannot guarantee this. Please be mindful that once payment due dates have passed, provisional bookings are automatically rescinded so they can be made available to others.
We encourage you to contact us to discuss if you are unable to make an online shop payment, are unsure about payment deadlines or the best payment method to choose. We are also happy to link in with your finance or admin contact, and recommend you share this page with them.
