Deposit fee is £3000
When to pay your fees
You’ll need to pay your tuition fees in full – or have arranged an instalment agreement to pay the rest of your fees – before the start date of your course. This is very important – if you don’t do this you won’t be able to fully enrol on your course.
Your course start dates are on your offer letter and published in your course induction information.
Your advanced payment
If you’re an international (non-EEA) student you’ll need to make an advanced payment (deposit) of £3,000.
You’ll need to pay this to meet the conditions of your offer so that we can make your offer unconditional and issue your CAS statement for your visa application.
Please pay your advanced payment when you’ve accepted your offer to study with us.
You can make your advanced payment through our online store using a valid credit/debit card or through GlobalPay.
How to make payments
We recommend GlobalPay (Western Union) as it’s the quickest and the most flexible, however there are other payment methods available.
- If you’re going to pay your fees in full, you can do this through GlobalPay (Western Union) or by credit/debit card on our online payment system.
- If you want to pay your fees in instalments you can do this by setting up an instalment plan before you enrol.
- If you want to make further payments towards your fees or your accommodation you can do this through GlobalPay (Western Union).
You can make a direct bank transfer to the University although we don’t generally recommend this method of payment. If you would like help or advice on this please contact the International Development Office.
There is more information on each of these payment methods below.
Paying your fees by GlobalPay bank transfer
Nottingham Trent University’s bank transfer platform for international students – GlobalPay – is provided by our partner Western Union Business Solutions.
This service offers you and your family the opportunity to securely send transfers for payment of tuition and/or accommodation fees in your local currency.

- choose your preferred method of payment;

How to pay in instalments
You can arrange to pay your fees in instalments. Your instalment plan must be set up before your course start date – so you are able to fully enrol.
If you’re an international student, after paying your advanced payment there are two further payments:
- September intake – October 2020 and February 2021.
- January intake – January 2021 and April 2021.
If you’re a self-funded EU student, your instalments will be paid in three stages:
- September intake – November 2020, January 2021 and April 2021.
- January intake – January 2021, April 2021 and September 2021.
Set up your instalment plan before you arrive in the UK, using a valid credit or debit card.
The University will accept payment in sterling only from the following cards:
To set up your instalment plan online, please visit the NTU online payment system.
When you arrive and open a UK bank account you can change the payment details on your instalment plan, if necessary.
Paying your fees by direct bank transfer
We do not generally recommend this method of payment however if you intend to use it please be aware that it can take up to 10 working days for the money to be processed.
If you’d like advice on whether or not this is the best method of payment for you please contact the International Development Office.

Making payments towards your accommodation as part of your Student visa

You can do this using GlobalPay (Western Union).
Please note that you must accept your offer, pay your advanced payment and meet all your conditions before you can make these additional payments.
The maximum amount the UKVI will take into consideration for accommodation payments is £1,265.00.
Payments for accommodation booking fees (which become the damage deposits after key collection) are not included in the ‘accommodation fees paid’ on your CAS as they are not considered to be part of the fee.
