  • Students may pay fees by semester
  • If you are on a 1 semester programme - all fees must be paid in advance
  • If you are on a 2 semester programme - you may pay your fee in halves by semester
  • If you are on a 3 semester programme - you may pay your fee in thirds by semester
  • Where a student is receiving funding from a third party source, students must pay either a half or a third (whichever is applicable to the programme) of the student's remaining personal liability in order to be a registered student of the University.
