International Students
Paying Tuition Fees
As a student at the University of Lincoln, you will be required to pay tuition fees for each year of your course. Depending on the type of programme and study level, the cost of tuition can vary. However you are funding your studies, there’s a range of payment methods to suit you.
2022/23 Entry
Whichever method you choose, you will be asked to pay your fees in three stages.
Stage One
A £3,000 deposit is to be paid on receipt of a unconditional offer. This applies to students who require a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) and are not progressing from the International Study Group or PEASS courses. Sponsorship letters will be accepted providing that the correct letter structure is adhered to.
Stage Two
50% of the fees to be paid BEFORE enrolment and by the date specified on our website.
Stage Three
The remaining balance is to be paid in full, or via a maximum of nine equal consecutive monthly instalments commencing in the month you enrol. You need to select your preferred option within 21 days of enrolment or your study progression may be affected as per the University General Regulations.
For example, Jiamin’s tuition fee due is £16,000. She will be required to pay a £8,000 in order to enrol (stage two). If she has already paid a £3,000 deposit (stage one), a payment of £5,000 will be required for stage two and a payment of £8,000 will be required for stage three.
Please note that the tuition fee due is the total amount of fees payable after any applicable scholarships have been deducted.
