Postgraduate students are required to pay a tuition fee deposit to confirm their place on a full-time programme. If your tier 4 visa has been refused, you fail to meet the university's English requirements, or fail to meet the university's academic requirements, you may be eligible for a tuition fee deposit refund. For further information, including how to request a refund, please refer to our Tuition fee deposit webpage.
Once you begin your studies, the tuition fee deposit will be held on your account and should be subtracted from your next tuition fee payment to prevent overpayments from occurring. If you overpay your tuition fee as a result of a tuition fee deposit, please raise an enquiry through SID online to request a refund.
