International fees

From 2021-22 academic year students from countries outside of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland pay international tuition fees for degree courses at UK universities. 

The tuition fee you pay is based on your fee status and the course you study. Your fee status is assessed based on criteria published by the UK government. 

If you're not sure if you should pay fees at the international rate, we will contact you during the application process to complete a fee assessment form.

All cases are assessed against the same criteria. You can find information about fee status for higher education on the UKCISA website.

The Extended Masters programme incorporates English language study, for which separate fees apply. To find out more email  learnenglish@brighton.ac.uk.

Tuition fee deposit

Self-funded international students who require a UK visa to study at the university are required to pay a deposit in order for the university to issue a Confirmation for Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number, which is required in order to apply for a visa. International students can either pay their remaining tuition fees in full at the start of their course or in three instalments, in accordance with these deadlines.

If you are starting your course with us in September 2023 a deposit of £3,000 is payable and the deadlines for the three instalments are:

  • 50% of total fees paid by 31 October 2023
  • A further 25% of total fees paid by 31 January 2024
  • The final 25% of total fees paid by 30 April 2024.

If you are starting your course with us in January 2024 or September 2024 a deposit of £5,000 is required to be paid in order for the university to issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number, with remaining tuition fees to be paid either in full.

If you are starting your course with us in January 2024 the deadlines for the two instalments will be:

  • 50% of fee by 28 February 2024
  • Remaining balance to be paid by 31 May 2024.

If you are starting your course with us in September 2024 the deadlines for the two instalments will be:

  • 50% of fee by end 31 October 2024
  • Remaining balance to be paid by 31 January 2025.

The deposit is subject to review, but the minimum amount of £5,000 will still apply from January 2024.

Your tuition fee deposit should be paid using the University of Brighton’s payment service, powered by our partner Flywire, which allows you to pay in the currency of your choice in a simple and secure way.

You don't need to pay the tuition fee deposit if:

  • you are fully sponsored by the UK government, your home government, the British Council or any international organisation, international company or university
  • you are in receipt of the Norwegian Lånekassen funding
  • you are in receipt of Swedish CSN funding
  • you do not require Student visa sponsorship i.e. a CAS to study in the UK
  • you hold a full scholarship such as a Chevening or University of Brighton full fee scholarship
  • you are in receipt of a US Federal loan
  • you are a University of Brighton Pre-sessional student
  • you are a progressing University of Brighton International College student
  • you are a University of Brighton alumnus.

To find out more please see our international tuition fee deposit refund policy.

Paying the rest of your tuition fees

You can pay your fees in full as soon as you have accepted your offer, if you choose.

Alternatively, following the payment of your deposit, if required, you must pay your remaining tuition fees in 3 instalments. If you are starting your course with us in September 2023 the deadlines for the 3 instalments will be:

  • 50% of total fees paid by 31 October 2023.
  • A further 25% of total fees paid by 31 January 2024.
  • The final 25% of total fees paid by 30 April 2024.

As an example, if your total fees for the 2023-24 academic year are £15,462, your instalment plan will look like this if you are required to pay a deposit:

Example of instalment plan with deposit
 Payment % Total fees paid Deadline* 
Deposit 
 £3,000.00
 19%
 31 August 2023
Instalment 1 - 50% less deposit
 £4,731.00

Instalment 2 - 25%

Instalment 3 - 25%

 100%
 30 April 2024
TOTAL

*based on a September 2023 start date.

Or, for example, your instalment plan will look like this if you are not required to pay a deposit:

Example of instalment plan without deposit
  Payment % Total fees paid Deadline*
Instalment 1 - 50%   £7,731.00  50%  31 October 2023
Instalment 2 - 25%  £3,865.50  75%  31 January 2024
Instalment 3 - 25%  £3,865.50  100%  30 April 2024
TOTAL  £15,462.00    

*based on a September 2023 start date.

If you do not pay your fees by each deadline, the university may act to recover the fees, as outlined in the university’s Tuition Fee Policy.

Courses starting in January 2024

We will publish deposit and instalment details for courses starting in January 2024 no later than 1 November 2023.

Fully or partially officially sponsored international students

If a third-party sponsor is paying your fees, you should provide their invoicing details via Student View. A scanned copy of a financial guarantee will be acceptable.

Sponsors should ensure that student fees are paid in full by 1 November of the relevant academic year, or within four weeks of the student’s course start date if this is later than 1 November.

As a student you remain ultimately responsible for the payment of your tuition fees, including where a sponsorship agreement has been approved (refer to the Student Contract).

How to pay

All tuition fee payments, including deposits, should be made using the university’s payment platform operated by Flywire.
