New Students / Offer Holders 2013-2014

Essential information on tuition fees including Tuition Fee Loans, Maintenance Loans, acceptable payment methods, discounts and instalment plans is available at http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/registration/tuitionfees . Please ensure you read this first.

Deferring Payment (UK/EU Undergraduates)
In the 2013/2014 academic year no eligible student will have to pay tuition fees before or whilst studying. This is because you can apply for a tuition fee loan which you will not have to repay until you have graduated, have started work and are earning more than a specified amount per annum.

If you decide not to apply for a tuition fee loan from Student Finance please be aware that you will have to pay your fee upfront, i.e. you cannot defer repaying your tuition fee until after you have graduated.

Full Payment Plan

You pay your entire share of your fee in advance in August / September or when you attend to register in September. If your share of the tuition fee is £3,900 or more you will be entitled to 2% discount (except Home/EU Undergraduates).
The discount is only guaranteed if you pay your tuition fee within three weeks of the start date of your course.

Instalment Plans

The University operates two instalment plans of either two instalments or four instalments depending on the level of your fee and/or your type of attendance (part-time or full-time study). There is no additional charge made to students who opt to pay their fee in instalments, but you will not be entitled to receive a discount if you choose not to pay your fees in full.

Payment in 2 instalments
If your share of the tuition fee is £225 or more, you are a full-time student and in attendance for the full academic year you can pay your tuition fee in 2 instalments.

• 50% of your share in advance or when you register
  
• 50% on 1 February 2014 (or 4-5 months after your registration start date, if registering at a different time, other than September/October).

Payment in 4 instalments
If your share of the tuition fee is £9000 or more, and you are in attendance for the full academic year then you can pay your tuition fee in 4 instalments. This instalment plan also applies to all part-time and distance learning students whose share of the tuition fee is £225 or more.

• 25% in advance or when you register
• 25% 1 December 2013
• 25% 1 February 2014

  (this plan is for students whose programmes start in September/October)
