Deposits and tuition fee instalments

Overseas fee-paying students applying for courses at Brunel University London are required to pay a deposit to secure their place at the University and prior to a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) being issued (if required). This deposit is counted as a payment towards the tuition fee. The deposit amount required will be listed in the offer email.

Applicants are advised within their offer email to pay their deposit within 28 days to secure their place on the course. For any deposits paid after this date, places will be reviewed subject to course vacancies.

If your fees are paid by a sponsor, you may be exempt from the tuition fee deposit payment. In such cases, Admissions will request proof of sponsorship, which should be provided in the form of a signed letter.

If you have applied to MBBS Medicine, you are required to pay a £10,000 deposit prior to any unconditional offer being issued, a deposit payment deadline will be sent following an offer of a place on the course.

When should you pay your deposit? 

  • You need to pay a £5,000 deposit which will secure your place on the course and we will issue a CAS on receipt of this deposit.
  • Please note you must also complete your CAS Shield application and meet any other academic or non-academic conditions listed within your offer email, to be issued with a CAS. 

When should you pay your 50% tuition fee instalment? 

  • You will need to pay the balance of 50% of your tuition fees for the year before registration/enrolment (this is inclusive of the £5,000 deposit)
