Tuition and accommodation fees

Your offer letter includes information about your tuition and accommodation fees.

Tuition fees

Exchange students

Students coming to Bristol as part of an exchange partnership do not pay any tuition fees to the University of Bristol. If you receive an invoice for tuition fees, contact the Global Opportunities team.

Sponsored students

If you are coming to Bristol through a programme provider or if your home university is paying your tuition fees on your behalf, you are classified as a ‘sponsored student’. Your sponsor will be invoiced following your registration. If you receive an invoice for tuition fees directly, contact the Global Opportunities team.

Self-financing students

You will receive an invoice for your tuition fees following your registration. If you want to pay the balance of your fees in instalments, please contact the Student Fees team.

Accommodation fees

Your accommodation fees are due when you take up your place in University accommodation.

The Student Fees Office will send you an invoice at the beginning of each term. If you arrange payment online, the invoice will be for your records only.

The total fee due can be found on your Acceptance of Student Accommodation document.

If you are being sponsored for accommodation, your invoices will be sent directly to your sponsor. If you receive an invoice in error, contact the Global Opportunities team.
