How to pay your fees

At the University of Stirling, we recognise that you need flexibility when paying your fees, so we provide a range of secure payment options.

Your tuition fee can either be paid in full prior to, or upon enrolment or spread over manageable monthly instalments. We accept all major UK credit and debit cards except for American Express.

Stirling have recently partnered with Flywire to provide our UK and international students with additional payment methods in their local currency.

Flywire offers you the following benefits:

  • Convenient payment options from over 240 countries and territories, in more than 150 currencies.
  • Supports a variety of local payment methods including bank transfers, credit cards, e-wallets and more.
  • Provides real-time payment tracking through email, in-app and text alerts.
  • 24x7 multilingual support via email, phone or live chat.
  • Internal controls ensure that funds are secure and protected against fraud

If we need to refund your payment, it will be returned using the original payment method.

Paying tuition fees in instalments

You can pay your tuition fees in instalments to spread the cost over a longer period of time.

You can set up a recurring card payment (RCP) plan to pay your fees. This allows us to take payments from your credit or debit card when your instalments are due. Set up recurring card payments.

You can only set up a RCP when you have received your University of Stirling tuition fee invoice after completing enrolment.

Pay by semester

If you’re a full time student and enrolling for a full academic year, you may pay your tuition fee in two instalments. You’ll need to pay a minimum of 50% of the tuition fee prior to, or upon enrolment. If you’ve paid a tuition fee deposit prior to enrolment, the amount you’ll be required to pay at enrolment will be 50% of the tuition fee due, less any deposit or further tuition fees already paid. The remaining balance of your fees will be due after approximately five months from the official start date of your course.

At enrolment you’ll be offered the opportunity to set up a Recurring Card Payment for the next instalment.

Monthly payments

You can make payments in monthly instalments starting from the date you enrol. A first instalment will be taken by credit or debit card, and then you’ll need to set up a Recurring Card Payment, where the remainder of your payments will be deducted monthly on or around the 15th of the month. We’ll deduct any deposits or further tuition fees you’ve paid in advance before we calculate your instalments.

If you’re enrolled on an undergraduate course, you’ll be able to pay your fees in equal instalments over 8 months. Whereas if you’re enrolled on a postgraduate course, you’ll be able to pay in equal instalments over 12 months.
