If you're a full-time home undergraduate student and have applied for a Student Loan to cover the full cost of your fees, the payment will be paid directly to the University.

Find out more at: undergraduate financial support.

If you are personally liable for the whole or part of your fees, the payment methods are as follows:

• in instalments
• online
• by post
• in person
• bank transfer

Payment in instalments

If you are paying the fees to the University yourself, then you can pay by instalments - for no extra charge.

Instalment payments are made via a bank Direct Debit If you choose to pay by Direct Debit you can now pay in three equal instalments. Please contact the Finance Department by emailing incomesection@wlv.ac.uk to discuss instalment options.

The instalment dates for the academic year 2023/24 are:

Undergraduate Students *

Postgraduate Students *

International deposits *

* NB: all the above are subject to confirmation

Apply for a Direct Debit online or email incomesection@wlv.ac.uk

The Direct Debit must be drawn on a UK bank or building society. Failure to pay instalments on the due dates will result in your entitlement to pay by instalments being withdrawn and the balance of fees outstanding becoming due immediately.

This method of payment is only available to students if your course lasts at least a year, and where the tuition fee you are expected to pay personally exceeds £200.

If you have opted to pay by Direct Debit and you change the number of modules you are studying, your Direct Debit mandate will not be automatically amended. Please contact the Finance Department/ Income Section by e mail on incomesection@wlv.ac.uk
