Methods of Payment
You can pay your tuition fee deposit using the methods below. All payments must be made in Pounds Sterling (GBP). Please also note that your UEL student number must always be quoted when making any payment, regardless of the method you use to pay your fees.
When to pay your fees
If your fee is paid in full before published dates, you will be entitled to an early payment discount of up to 10%.
Alternatively, after you have paid your 50% deposit, we can normally offer a five month instalment plan. There are no additional charges added for choosing this option. The first instalment (10% of your annual fee) must be paid before you complete your enrolment at UEL and the remainder can then be paid in equal amounts over the following four months.
Local currency wire payment
This payment option, using Travelex, is included in uel-direct as a facility to allow students to transfer funds to the University in their local currency for both tuition fees and accommodation. uel-direct can be accessed by all applicants who hold an offer with no academic conditions.
