Details about tuition fees for international students.

Paying your fees

Tuition fees are payable from the first day of your course and may be paid online, by direct debit or by bank transfer. You may pay your fees in up to six instalments. Early settlement discounts are available for self funding students if you choose to pay your fees in full by the 1 November. If you are not paying for your own fees you will be required to produce a letter confirming that your fees will be paid by your government, the British Council, an international organisation, your employer or other sponsor when you arrive at the university. We cannot complete your enrolment until we have seen this letter.

Early settlement discount

If you are a fully self-funding student who is not eligible for a tuition fee loan, and you pay your fees for the year in full by 1 November you will be eligible for a 5 per cent discount.

How to apply

To receive the discount you need to complete a tuition fee discount scheme application form and send it to us before 1 November each year to claim your discount which will be refunded to you. You need to do this for each year of your course.

The University of Brighton graduate discount and the early settlement discount can be used in combination. Both will be calculated from the gross fees due (ie. the fees due before being discounted).
