How to pay your fees in instalments

You can pay in instalments in two ways:

• set up a Direct Debit to take payments automatically from your UK bank account on the due dates
• make manual payments on or before each due date

To find payment due dates, see the When to pay your fees page.

Set up a Direct Debit

If you have a UK bank account, you can pay your fees by setting up a Direct Debit payment plan.

To set up your plan:

• go to your financial statement and select ‘Create a payment plan’
• follow the on-screen instructions

You will receive a confirmation email once your plan is set up.

You must set up your plan by:

• 9 September 2026 for accommodation fees 
• 25 September 2026 for tuition fees

Once your Direct Debit is set up:

• payments are taken automatically on the due dates, so you do not need to take any further action
• make sure there is enough money in your account on each payment date
• do not make additional payments, as this may result in duplicate charges
• set up a new payment plan at the start of each academic year

Year abroad students can set up a Direct Debit in the same way.

Pay manually 

If you have not set up a Direct Debit, you can make payments manually on or before each due date.

Sign in to your financial statement to make a payment.
