Paying tuition fees
If you are made an offer for a place on the course, you will receive information via email on how to formally accept your offer and pay the course fees.
Your place on a course is only confirmed when you have paid your fees. Course fees will normally be due within a maximum of 3 weeks of our offer being made and can be paid by credit/debit card on the UCL Online Store, or by bank transfer. Full details of how to pay the fees will be emailed with our formal offer.
Course fees include the costs of all course tuition, access to the UCL IT network with Internet and e-mail facilities and borrowing and research rights at UCL libraries.
Refunds
Full refunds of course fees minus a £100 administration charge will be made in the event of formal visa refusals where a further visa application is not possible. Claims must be made in writing and be supported by the relevant Refusal of Entry Clearance letter. Other requests for refunds will be considered only in the event that a replacement can be found to take the applicant's place on the course.
Please note that pro rata refunds of tuition fees for students withdrawing from a course of study after the commencement of the course will not be considered.
EU citizens starting in 2020/21
If you are an EU citizen and you arrive in the UK during the transition and you intend to stay in the UK longer than three months, you will be able to apply to live and study in the UK, and once you have been here for five years, you will be able to apply for settled status.
However, you will need to register through a new Home Office registration scheme.
If you arrive by 31 December 2020 but do not qualify for settled status, you will be eligible for pre-settled status enabling you to stay until you have reached the five-year threshold. All applications must be submitted by 30 June 2021.
