Home/EU settled/pre-settled students
UK and EU students can apply for a loan to pay for their tuition fees, managed by Student Finance England. The process differs slightly depending on where you're from.
If you intend to pay your fees through Student Finance England, either in part of full, you must inform the University at the time of enrolment. Applications for funding need to be made direct to Student Finance England and must be made for each academic year of your course of study.
UK/EU Undergraduate students
Once Student Finance England (SfE) agrees to fund you, they will notify and pay your tuition fees directly to the University.
UK/EU Postgraduate students
Following your successful application for funding, you will receive the full loan amount from Student Finance. You will then be required to pay your tuition fees to the University yourself.
Until Student Finance England confirms their sponsorship of you to the University of Sunderland in London, you remain liable for any fees due. If Student Finance England is funding less than the full amount of your tuition fee, it is your personal responsibility to settle the outstanding amount.
When you enrol you can either pay the total tuition fee amount in full or choose one of the following payment options:
Three payment instalment plan
If your course is one academic year or more, you can choose to split your tuition fee payment into three amounts, based on the official start date of your course.
|
Course start date |
Instalment one |
Instalment two |
Instalment three |
|---|---|---|---|
| October | 1 December | 1 March | 1 June |
| January | 1 March | 1 June | 1 September |
| April | 1 June | 1 September | 1 December |
| August | 1 October | 1 January | 1 April |
Seven payment instalment plan
If you choose to pay via seven instalments your start date will be the same as the three payment instalment plan. You will then pay monthly on the 1st until your final payment, which also falls on the same date as above.
A credit agreement must be completed if you want to pay through seven instalments. This credit agreement is available during the online enrolment process or via your e:Vision account.
