Tuition fees for online degrees
This page is dedicated to guiding you through the tuition fees for our online degrees – undergraduate and postgraduate – and foundation years.
For UK students, the total amount of your tuition fees will be the same, whether you choose full or part-time study.
If you're looking for international student tuition fees, see our fees and funding page for international students.
UK students are eligible to apply for government student loans.
If self-funding, you can pay flexibly: monthly, annually or in-full – with tuition fee reductions available for advance payment.
Undergraduate students not using as tuition fee loan, and all postgraduate students, need to make a pre-payment of tuition fees to accept an unconditional offer.
Furthering our commitment to accessibility, we offer scholarships and financial support like a Hardship Fund, and flexible payment options.

How to pay your tuition fees
Paying for your studies should be as straightforward as possible. Whether you're using a loan, self-funding, or being supported by an employer, here’s what you need to know.
Undergraduate Tuition Fee loan
If you’re eligible for an undergraduate student loan, the Student Loans Company (SLC) will pay your tuition fees directly to us. You won't receive the loan to your own account.
What to expect:
Before you start: apply for your tuition fee loan through the SLC (via Student Finance England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland) at least 6-8 weeks before your chosen start date. We can’t officially enrol you or allow you to start your course until your loan has been approved and verified by SLC.
Confirmation process: once your loan is approved, you'll need to upload proof of approval and we’ll confirm your registration with the SLC to confirm your enrolment. Your loan must be confirmed at least 7 days before your start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available intake.
No upfront costs: your tuition fees are fully covered by the loan, so you won’t need to pay out of pocket during your studies.
Postgraduate Master’s loan
If you qualify for a Postgraduate Master’s Loan, the government will pay the loan into your bank account. It’s your responsibility to arrange payments to us.
What to expect:
Applying for a loan: submit your loan application through your regional student finance body at least 6-8 weeks before your chosen start date to avoid delays. Ensure you borrow enough to cover both tuition fees and any living costs.
Payment schedule: loan payments are typically split into three instalments, with your first payment arriving once we’ve confirmed you’ve started your studies. Check your payment dates to plan ahead.
Making your pre-payment: to officially be enrolled on your course, you’ll need to make a pre-payment to accept your unconditional offer. This pre-payment is based on one month’s tuition fee (minimum £500, maximum £900) and must be paid directly by you. Since the first loan payment will only be made after you’ve started your course, you’ll need to plan for this pre-payment separately. You’ll have 90 days to make your pre-payment, and you need to make it at least 7 days before your start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available intake.
Paying tuition fees to us directly: after your pre-payment, you can pay the rest of your tuition fees in a way that works best for you: monthly, annually, or in full.
Making direct payments
If you’re funding your studies yourself, or using a Master's Loan to pay for your course, we offer flexible payment options to suit your circumstances. As part of securing your place, you’ll need to make a pre-payment before your course starts.
What to expect:
Pre-payment to accept your unconditional offer: before your course starts, you’ll need to make a pre-payment that is based on one month’s tuition fee (minimum £500, maximum £900). You’ll have 90 days to make your pre-payment, and you need to make it at least 7 days before your start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available intake.
Tuition fee payment plans: after your pre-payment, you can pay the rest of your tuition fees in a way that works best for you: monthly, annually, or in full. All payments are interest-free and you may qualify for a fee reduction on up-front payments.
How to pay: payments can be made securely via bank transfer or credit card.
Planning ahead: your pre-payment will be made before your course begins, while the next payment is typically due in the second or third month of your studies.
Employer-funded
Many employers are happy to invest in their employees' professional development by covering tuition fees.
What to expect:
Arranging sponsorship: speak to your employer to discuss their willingness to pay for your studies. We can provide the information they need to support your application.
Making your pre-payment: before your course starts, your employer will need to make a pre-payment that is based on one month’s tuition fee (minimum £500, maximum £900). They’ll have 90 days to make the pre-payment, and it must be made at least 7 days before their start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available intake.
Payment options: your employer can pay monthly, annually, or in full. Payments are made via bank transfer or credit card.
Pre-payment: who needs to pay and when
Most applicants need to make a pre-payment to officially accept their unconditional offer to study with us. This includes you if you're:
self-funding your undergraduate or postgraduate course
using a postgraduate Master's loan
being funded by your employer (the pre-payment will need to be made by your employer on your behalf)
If you’re an undergraduate student using a tuition fee loan from the Student Loans Company (SLC), you won’t need to make a pre-payment. Instead, you will accept your unconditional offer by uploading confirmation that your student loan has been approved by SLC.
How much is the pre-payment?
The pre-payment amount is based on one month’s tuition fee, which will depend on your course and study mode, and with set limits to make it manageable. You’ll need to pay at least £500, and no more than £900.
Is the pre-payment an additional cost?
The pre-payment is not an additional fee. It’s part of your overall tuition fee and will be deducted from your total balance. This means you’ll pay less in future instalments once your course begins.
What to expect:
Before you start: once your application is processed, we’ll issue an email request for pre-payment. You’ll have 90 days to make your pre-payment, and you need to make it at least 7 days before your chosen start month – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next available intake. If you’re not planning to start within 90 days of your application, let us know as early as possible during your application process, and we’ll issue the request for pre-payment closer to your start date.
Payment process: you’ll receive an email requesting your pre-payment, which must be paid in full.
