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.

Pay a student invoice if you're a current student

Make a part payment or pay in full any invoice we have sent you in respect of tuition or any other miscellaneous fee. You'll need your portal logon username and password.

Make a general fee payment

Make a payment to your account for tuition fees or an international tuition fee deposit.

A general fee payment allows you as a student, your parent or guardian, or any other third party you wish to pay on your behalf, to make a deposit or payment online. The payment goes into your student account, within our student finance system.

Your student number and date of birth are required to proceed to the payment page.

If we’ve sent you an invoice, please use the ‘Pay a student invoice’ option.

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.

Get further information on using recurring card payments.

If your share of the tuition fee liability is £250 or more you may be eligible to opt for one of the following instalment schemes at enrolment.

If you pay a deposit towards your programme, this will be deducted from the total amount of fees that you have to pay.
