International undergraduate fees

Students who normally live outside of the EU usually pay international tuition fees.

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. We may need to confirm your fee status during the application process.

We assess all cases against the same criteria. You can find information about fee status for higher education on the UKCISA website.

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, after you have applied and been offered a place on a course you will need to pay a deposit of £2,500 before we can issue you with a your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. You need a CAS number in order to make your visa application.

If you are starting a course with us in September 2018, you must provide us with your tuition fee deposit of £2,500 by 31 August 2018.

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

you are a University of Brighton alumnus
you are a University of Brighton International College alumnus
you have funding from an ‘official financial sponsor’ as defined by the Tier 4 immigration rules e.g. your government, the UK government, or an international scholarship agency.

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 paying your own fees, you can apply for an early settlement discount provided that you pay your fees in full by 1 November.

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.

How to pay your fees

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.
