At Birmingham we recognise that students need flexibility when paying fees. We provide a range of payment options to suit everyone. The fee can either be paid in full or spread over manageable instalments by Direct Debit.
If you, your family, or friends are paying your fees:
Once you have completed Online Registration you will receive an invoice confirming your tuition fees for the year, and the due date by which you need to pay or apply to pay in instalments by Direct Debit.
To make a single payment for your tuition fees:
Apply to pay your fees in instalments by Direct Debit, here.
Single payments can be made for multiple years’ tuition fees, for example to benefit from advantageous exchange rates.
If your financial sponsor, such as your employer, the NHS, or home government are paying your fees:
You will be asked to enter the details of your sponsor as part of Online Registration. We will then contact your sponsor for payment.
If you did not provide details of your sponsor as part of Online Registration, please send their full details to our Accounts Receivable team so we can contact them for payment.

If your fees will be paid by Student Finance:
You will be asked to enter the details of your student loan, including the SSN number they have assigned you, as part of Online Registration. We will await payment of your fees directly from the Student Loan Company.

Late payment

If we fail to receive payment when requested, a default charge of £50 or 1.5% (whichever is greater) will be charged to cover these costs. For further details on penalty of non-payment please refer to the Admissions and Registration regulations (PDF - 67KB).
