Before your enrolment can be completed you will need to have organised how you will be paying for your tuition fees. Listed below please find the different payment options available:
Postgraduate Masters Loan
If you are a UK student resident in England and are aged under 60, you will be able to apply for a loan to study for a postgraduate masters degree. Taught and research-based courses in any subject are eligible, excluding postgraduate certificates (PgCert) or postgraduate diplomas (PgDip). Funding is available for both full-time and part-time study and will be non-means tested.
Unlike the undergraduate tuition fee loan, the Postgraduate Masters Loan is paid directly to you rather than to the University so you will be responsible for arranging payment of your fees. You can do so via one of the options below or alternatively you can send a copy of your loan confirmation to AccountsReceivable@kingston.ac.uk and we can arrange a payment plan that is aligned to the dates you will be receiving your funding.
Instalments
We offer students the opportunity to pay their tuition fees in six instalments but only if a recurring card payment instruction (referred to as an RCP) has been set up.
This enables you to provide card details (UK or International) which the University holds securely and uses to take payment on the instalment dates. Please note that International fee-paying students will need to have paid 50% of their fee in advance and are then able to pay the remaining balance in six instalments.
You can set up an RCP at www.kingston.ac.uk/dd
Instalment dates can be viewed at www.kingston.ac.uk/fees-funding-and-payments/when-to-pay
Sponsorship
If your employer has agreed to fund your studies we will need to be provided with a Sponsorship Confirmation Form.
More information on what is required and a copy of the form can be viewed at www.kingston.ac.uk/fees-funding-and-payments/how-to-pay-your-fees/ listed under ‘Sponsorship' in the ‘Methods of Payment' section.
Payment in full
If you intend to pay your fees in full prior to commencing your studies you can do so by card securely online at www.kingston.ac.uk/epay
If you are planning to pay by International bank transfer this can be completed using our Western Union portal as we do not accept direct bank transfers – https://student.globalpay.wu.com/geo-buyer/Kingston
If you need some assistance in completing any of the above you can view helpful information and video guides at www.kingston.ac.uk/fees-funding-and-payments/how-to-pay-your-fees/ in the ‘Methods of Payment' section.
Hopefully the videos and advice we have online will help you to be able to get your payment method in place without any issues but if you do encounter any problems please do contact our Accounts Receivable team who will be happy to help.
