International postgraduate tuition fees

If your residency or immigration status means you cannot be classified as a home student, you will pay international tuition fees.

As the rules are complex it is important to check your eligibility. We judge all cases against the same criteria, in accordance with the government's guidelines. 

You can find further guidance on the UKCISA website.

Some courses charge different fees; you should confirm the tuition fee for the course you are applying for by using our course finder.

Tuition fees are usually charged on an academic year / annual basis, depending on a student’s tuition fee status and the applicable fee regime. Fees will be subject to an annual review, and may increase annually throughout the student’s period of enrolment on the course (subject to any maximum regulated tuition fee limit).

Paying your international tuition fee deposit

If you are a self-funded international student and you require a UK visa to study with us, you are required to pay a tuition fee deposit. The deposit must be paid before we can issue you with your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number, which you will need in order to apply for your visa.

The tuition fee deposit for 2023-24 is £3,000. If you are starting a course with us in autumn 2023 your tuition fee deposit funds must be cleared by the CAS deadline that we will tell you.

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.

Certain categories of students are not required to pay a deposit.

The deposit is generally considered non-refundable, but will be refunded in certain circumstances.

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
 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.

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.

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).
