Paying in instalments
You have the option to pay your tuition fees in instalments by Direct Debit. This can be set up by you, a parent, guardian, relative or friend. The Direct Debit must come from a UK bank account.
There are no additional charges to pay this way. If you set up a Direct Debit, don’t pay another instalment using a different payment method as you may be charged twice.
For further information on Direct Debits, please read our information on Direct Debit agreements.
You can make a payment for a Global MBA, online and blended programmes using debit or credit card.
