International postgraduate tuition fees

Tuition fees for 2022 entry

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, you will need to pay a tuition fee deposit before we can issue your CAS number for your student visa application. Tuition fee deposit for 2022–23 is £3,000.

If you are starting a course with us in September 2022 you must provide us with your tuition fee deposit by 31 August 2022.

You can pay your tuition fee deposit online or by using the bank transfer service partnered with Flywire, which allows you to pay in your local currency.

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

Tuition fees become due once you enrol online.

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

Fully self-funding international students starting their course in academic year 2022-23

If you are a fully self-funding international student, you can choose to pay your annual tuition fees in three instalments.

You will need to pay 50% of your annual tuition fee at the point that you enrol online. You will need to pay two further instalments of 25% of your annual tuition fee at the start of each subsequent term.

Fully or partially officially sponsored international students

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

How to pay

You can pay by bank transfer, credit/debit card or by using the university’s payment platform operated by Flywire.

Flywire allows you, your parents or sponsors to pay your student fees in the currency of your choice in a simple and secure way.

Someone else is paying for my fees

If a third party sponsor pays your tuition fees you should complete a sponsor form (pdf).

Once signed, you can email a scanned copy of the sponsor form or sponsor headed-paper letter to fees@brighton.ac.uk. A scanned copy of a financial guarantee is also acceptable.

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

What is included in the fees

Mandatory requirements for your course are covered by the tuition fees. These include things such as health or criminal record checks, specialist materials and mandatory field trips.

Optional field trips, accommodation and course materials are not included in the tuition fees and you will need to pay for these yourself. Please contact the school that delivers your course about possible extra costs before you apply.
