Cost of applying

How much will my application cost?

You pay a £17 application fee whether you apply for one course or four courses, or even if you apply after 30 June 2010 and your application goes directly into Clearing. The application fee includes VAT.

How do I pay?

You will need to make your payment on the internet using a credit or debit card. The card need not be in your own name, but you must have the consent of the cardholder. If you pay your fee with a credit or debit card that you do not have permission to use, we will cancel your application.

We accept UK and international Visa, Visa Debit, Delta, MasterCard, Maestro, Solo and Electron credit or debit cards. At the moment we do not accept American Express, Diners Club or JCB cards.

If you are having trouble paying for your application, please call our Customer Services on 0871 468 0 469 (or 0044 871 468 0 469 from outside the UK) for advice and guidance. UK BT landline calls will cost no more than nine pence per minute. The cost of calls from mobiles and other networks may vary.

When do I need to make my payment?

After you have completed all the sections of your application and your principal referee has provided a reference, we will ask you to agree to the terms of the declaration before you can pay for your application and send it to us.

Please remember that you can only complete one application in each cycle. If you send a second application, it will be cancelled and you will not receive a refund.
