Undergraduate students

Eligible NI, GB and ROI students will be able to borrow the full cost of tuition from the Government, in the form of a tuition fee loan. The tuition fee loan is not currently means-tested and is available to all eligible students.

If you are a medical student and you expect your fees to be paid by the NHS Bursary Scheme you have to first apply for a bursary with the NHS directly. Applications must be made within six months of the start of the academic year.

If you require further assistance, please contact the NHS student helpline on 0300 330 1345 or visit the NHS website: NHS Bursaries

Please note that failure to apply on time could result in you becoming personally liable for your fees.

Sponsored students should inform the University that they are being sponsored during Enrolment and Registration (E&R) when coming through the E&R Portal. On the Portal there is an opportunity to select the option 'My fees will be paid by an External Sponsor' on the Payment Summary screen and on the subsequent screen to complete the sponsor details and upload a Sponsor Authorisation Form.

If your sponsor has already provided you with a letter this must contain the following information below. 

• Student name and student number
• Sponsor contact name
• Address to which invoices should be sent by the University
• Contact Telephone Number
• Contact Email Address
• Amount of Sponsorship
• Duration of Sponsorship

Sponsor letters or Sponsor Authorisation Forms not uploaded in the E&R Portal can be emailed to sponsors@qub.ac.uk  

An invoice will normally be issued to sponsors in November each year. Payment is due 30 days from the date of invoice.

The tuition fee liability will revert to the student if fees remain outstanding after the due date. Suspensions will be applied to student accounts should these fees continue to remain outstanding. 

If you have any further queries please contact sponsors@qub.ac.uk.

If you are a student with an educational loan from the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Canada, Latin America or India you will have to send proof of your funding.
