What does self funded mean?
You may be considered to be a self funded student if you are:
- funding your own studies
- getting financial help from family or friends
- receiving financial assistance directly from an external funder (excluding educational loans from a government agency)
We encourage payment in advance of your arriving at the University at the start of your studies to avoid unnecessary delays or problems transferring funds, especially for international students. We offer a number of online payment options which support all major credit/debit cards.
Deposit Payment
Applicants who are required to pay a deposit as a formal condition of their offer, or in advance of receiving a CAS, should pay by Flywire as indicated below.
Please note we DO NOT accept payments in cash for Tuition Fees.
