How to pay

Pay your fees

To ensure that we are able to allocate your money to the correct account please make sure that you state your 8 digit student ID number and personal information when making a payment to the University.

Failure to provide the necessary details can cause delays when processing your visa documentation. If you would like to get in touch with the finance team, please visit the fees and funding website.

Paying your deposit, tuition or accommodation fees

Once you have an offer to study and your 8 digit ID number, you will be able to send payments to the University. You will usually be required to pay a minimum deposit of £5,000 towards your tuition fees as part of your offer conditions.

Please make sure you only ever pay the University directly using the payment methods mentioned on this page. Never pay third parties including University agents or representatives and please be aware that the University will only ever issue refunds back to the account from which they were paid.

Sponsored students
If you have a sponsor paying for your tuition, you do not need to pay a deposit. However, your sponsor must provide proof to the University that they have agreed to pay the entire cost of your course.
If a company would like to sponsor you for your fees, they must email sponsored-student@herts.ac.uk including;
- Student's name
- Student's ID
- Exactly how much they would like to pay
- A full invoice address so we know where to bill them at
No deposit if you are sponsored
You do not need to pay a deposit if you are being sponsored, so ensure you confirm that you are a sponsored student as soon as possible after you receive an offer. You will be liable for the fees if we do not received satisfactory proof of sponsorship.
Family member paying your fees?
Family members/friends cannot act as sponsor. If a family member/friend is paying your fees, this will count as being self funded but they will make the payment on your behalf.
US loans
There are circumstances whereby USA students who are taking out government loans may still need to pay a deposit. If a student doesn’t want to request a loan to cover their full tuition fee then they will be required to pay the deposit.
The US loans application process doesn’t open until the end of June so any correspondence regarding this needs to be sent straight to usloans@herts.ac.uk
The USA Loan companies will not contact us about the students loan progress, so the applicants must ensure they send everything to us so we know what is happening and can help them.
If you are receiving a US loan for your tuition, please follow the guidance on our USA webpage.

Receipts

You will be issued with a receipt when your payment has cleared into the University's account. This process may take up to 3 weeks from point of payment.

If you made your payment using the Convera payment platform, your receipt will be issued from them directly and not from the University.
