International fees and scholarsips

In this section, you'll find all the information you need to know about fees and scholarships for international students at the University of Sunderland in London.

International Fees

International fees apply to any students who live outside of the United Kingdom (UK), but there are exceptions for students from the Republic of Ireland, or with EU settled/pre-settled status.

Tuition fees are £12,500 for 2021/22 and £13,000 for 2022/23. They are higher because the UK Government subsidises the cost of university tuition for UK students.

Deposit

If you are an international student, you must pay a non-refundable deposit of 50% of your tuition fee before you can receive your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) letter. This deposit becomes the first part of your tuition fee payment.

You should not pay the deposit until you have received your official offer letter from us. The letter will contain your applicant number, which you will need to pay the deposit.

If you have any questions about payments please email the Finance Office at revenues.finance@sunderland.ac.uk

Financially sponsored students

A sponsored student is a student whose fees are being paid for by their employer or a government body. Any student being sponsored (e.g. by a company or public sector organisation) needs to provide valid written evidence in the form of a sponsor letter of support for each academic year.

To be valid, a sponsor letter must be on the official sponsor’s letterhead and clearly state the student name, student number and the sponsorship amount. If relatives or personal friends are paying your fees, they are not official sponsors and you will be treated as a self-funded student.

If your sponsor is funding less than the full amount of your tuition fee or withdraws the sponsorship during the financial year for any reason, it is your personal responsibility to settle any outstanding amount.

Keep your money and payments safe from fraudsters

Fraudsters typically select international students who are looking for ways to make their payments to the University, but will target anyone they think they can make money from.
