Important registration dates 2026/27

If you are starting your course in September 2026, please wait until this date before contacting the University about registration emails.
Registration Portal
The Registration Portal is where you complete and track your registration.
You can use it to:
- Complete online registration

When do I need to pay my tuition fees?
There are set dates each year by which students must pay a specified proportion of their tuition fees.
You must pay the required amount by the relevant fee liability date.
If you are an international student who has paid a £5,000 deposit, this will count towards your first liability date.
