Our professionally-oriented portfolio of degrees and industry experience equip graduates with the vital skills and knowledge required for a successful start or development of their careers.

International Students – An Opportunity to Take Advantage of Favourable Exchange Rates

The exchange rate between sterling and other currencies has moved several times over the past year. At the moment, it is cheaper to buy sterling than it has been for some time. If you wish to take advantage of the current exchange rate and not risk the rate moving against you later in the year, then you may pay your fees early, provided you are in receipt of an unconditional offer from the University. Please note, that once you have paid your fees, you are committed and no refund will be provided if you change your mind, nor can you take advantage of more favourable exchange rates, should those occur later in the year. You may only pay your fees one year ahead.
