How to pay your fees
Ways to pay
There are a range of ways to pay your tuition fees direct to the university. If you choose to pay by direct debit you can pay your fees in up to six instalments. If you pay your fees in full by the due date you may be eligible for a early settlement rebate.
Any payments not made in pounds sterling will incur bank charges which will be passed on to the student.
You can pay your fees in one of the following ways:
Online
You can pay your fees securely online.
Cheque
Make cheques payable to the 'University of Brighton' and write your eight-digit student number on the back of the cheque.
Credit or debit card
You can either use a card to pay online, or pay in person at the income site offices (see right column). We regret we are unable to accept Diners Club cards. Recurring card payment plans of up to six instalments can also be agreed on similar terms to the direct debt. Please contact the Finance Department to arrange this plan.
Direct debit (self-funding students only)
Our direct debit works on a maximum of up to six instalments can be set up dependent on the agreement date and the fees amount. The last payment must be made by the following March. No surcharge is made for this service. You will be able to download the Direct Debit Mandate form when you enrol online.
