Tuition fee payment

As you have taken out a Postgraduate loan from Student Finance as a contribution to your study costs, and if you are taking an eligible degree programme, you can pay your tuition fees in three equal instalments.

Student Finance will make payment to you across three payments and each one will be received prior to SOAS's tuition fee instalment dates. 

NB - This only applies to those students studying on campus. If you are studying distance learning please find payment conditions for enrolment. 

Terms and conditions

• One third of the tuition fees will need to be paid by the 31 October 2024 (If you have the paid the CAS deposit, please deduct £4,000 from this first instalment payment).
• You will then pay the second instalment of one third of the tuition fees by 31 January 2025.
• The final third of the tuition fees will be due by 14 February 2025.
• Please note that failure to meet these payment deadlines will result in you losing access to SOAS facilities (including the BLE/Moodle).
• Failure to adhere to the payment deadlines may result in all outstanding tuition fees becoming due and the withdrawal of the privilege of paying in 3 instalments.
• You can only pay by instalments if your total annual tuition fee is more than £1500.

Once you have read and agreed to the above Terms and Conditions, please register your card.

If you have any questions, please contact instalmentpayment@soas.ac.uk.
