4. Payment by direct debit in three instalments
Direct debit is the University’s preferred payment method in instalments as it is an automatic process thus saving time and expense for everybody. If you pay by direct debit you are given longer to pay as the collection dates are extended to 1st December, 1st February and 1st June or the next working day. Notification letters are sent in advance in the middle of November, January and May advising of the amount to be collected. Once the direct debit mandate is set up it can then be actioned each year thereafter.
You need to have a UK bank account in order to set up a direct debit mandate. Overseas students will find that most UK banks offer a simple account that can pay direct debits. Please note direct debit is not available on savings accounts. Because the first instalment by direct debit is not due until beginning of December you have until 15th November to set up the account and register the details with us. Please let us know if you have problems.
Once you have the UK bank account you can set up a direct debit in any of the following ways:
