Some courses charge different fees and 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).

Fees for international students at partner colleges

Fees for international students studying at the university's partner colleges are set by the colleges, not the university. You should therefore contact your partner college for information on course fees.

 

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 2021–22 is £1,500.

If you are starting a course with us in September 2021 you must provide us with your tuition fee deposit by 31 August 2021.

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

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

• you are fully sponsored by the UK government, your home government ministry, the British Council or any international organisation, international company or university
• you do not require sponsorship under the student visa route i.e. a CAS to study in the UK
• you are in receipt of a US Federal loan
• you are a University of Brighton pre-sessional student
• you are a University of Brighton alumnus
• you are a University of Brighton International College alumnus.

Students whose ability to take up study at Brighton is disrupted as a result of COVID-19 will have their deposits refunded in full.

For further details, please see our tuition fee deposit refund policy.

 

 

Paying the rest of your tuition fees

Tuition fees are payable from the first day of your course. You can pay them online or by bank transfer, and can choose to pay your fees in up to six instalments.

If you are not paying your own fees, you must produce a letter when you arrive at the university confirming that your fees will be paid by your government, the British Council, an international organisation, your employer or another sponsor. We cannot complete your enrolment until we have seen this letter.
