Payment Information

Early Payment Discount

An early payment discount is available if you choose to pay your full annual tuition fee before the CAS is issued (or in limited cases before registration). The early payment discount is only available to self-funded students, and excludes pre-sessional courses, partnerships and students receiving other benefits such as scholarships.

Undergraduate and postgraduate taught students who pay all fees for the year before registration will be entitled to an Early Payment Discount of £1,000.

If you are enrolling onto a one semester programme or short course, the tuition fee must be paid in full prior to the start of the programme or course.

Information for Government Sponsored or Scholarship Students

If you are government sponsored or receiving a scholarship from a (recognised) scholarship body, you will need to provide a letter of sponsorship/financial guarantee. This must be on letter-headed paper and include the following information:

name of the programme and academic year for which the sponsorship applies
amount of sponsorship (for example, full fees or specified amount in pounds sterling)
your full name (as stated on your passport)
your student identification number
address and named contact to which the University of Cumbria should send the invoice
full name and address of the sponsoring institution
Fees for the placement year of 4-year Undergraduate programmes will be charged at a percentage of the yearly tuition fee.

Fee Deposit Policy

Before you can get started with your course, you will be required to pay a deposit of up to 75% of the substantive programme fee, plus the full amount of any pre-sessional fees.

Until we receive this deposit, you will not be issued a 'Confirmation of Acceptance for Study' (CAS). Your offer letter will provide more information on how to pay your deposit, but we recommend paying online.

Please note that the deposit is non-refundable unless your visa is refused due to exceptional circumstances.

Students from certain countries may be asked to pay their full annual tuition fees in advance of receipt of their CAS.
