Payment plans

Our high quality, fully supported courses are excellent value for money. Our fee structure is open and transparent and there are no hidden administration costs so you know exactly what is included. You can apply at any time and you don’t pay anything until you enrol onto a course.

Our payment plans are designed to be simple and straightforward, allowing you to spread the cost of your course and to graduate without debt. 

You can choose a payment plan to suit your personal circumstances so whether you would prefer to reduce the overall cost of your course, avoid future price increases or pay in manageable instalments, there is an option for you.

Please note: The following programmes must be paid for in full before enrolment can be confirmed and are not eligible any discount:

• CTH (IOH) Level 4 Diploma In Advanced Hospitality Management

Pay as you study

This payment plan allows you to spread your course fees for each trimester over four instalments, with a minimum payment being required before your enrolment can be confirmed.

In most cases this is 25% of the cost of the study for the forthcoming trimester - whether this be for one or two modules depending on whether you are studying the standard or accelerated rate. This is then followed by 3 payments of 25%.

You can see the examples below. You will find the programme and module costs on the programme page for your course and your exact payment breakdown will show in the payment portal.

Please note: The programmes below have different initial payment amounts and instalment calendars. Further information is available on the following pages:

• International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS)
• Doctor of Education EdD
• Doctorate in Health and Social Care Practice
• Doctorate in Professional Practice (Sport and Exercise)

Pay in full and avoid annual increases*

We review our course fees and apply an appropriate price increase at the beginning of each academic year. If you are studying for more than one year on a programme worth 60 credits or more, you can avoid these annual increases by paying for your entire course when you enrol.

Example

If, for a course costing £14,490, we were to increase our fees by a little over 2% each year, or around £290, you could save around £870, assuming you took three years to complete your course. You would not be required to make any further incremental payments.

You will find the full programme cost on the programme page for your course.

*if additional module resits are required these will be charged at rate of the academic year in which they are undertaken.
