If you are paying all or a portion of your tuition fee personally, University policy is that you pay in full upon enrolment, however we do make provision for students who are unable to pay the full amount at once.
PGR students enrolling in January or April (excluding the Professional Doctorate in Education - EdD) will need to pay their stage 1 tuition fee in full by the 31 July of that same year. This is to ensure the tuition fee is paid before needing to enrol onto the next full stage of the programme in August.
If you have any questions regarding the charging structure when commencing research study in January or April please contact the Doctoral College: doctoral.college@plymouth.ac.uk.
If it is not possible for you to pay your
tuition fee in full on enrolment, you are able to pay over three instalments as
outlined below.
For those programmes commencing between September and December:

Due to the varied impact of COVID-19 on our students and their finances, the University has extended the payment deadline for currently enrolled students to the end of their current stage of enrolment.
If you are currently enrolled your tuition fee must be paid in full before you will be permitted to re-enrol onto a further stage of study or graduate. If you wish to query the balance owed or have any other question in relation to payment of an outstanding tuition fee balance for 2019/2020, please contact the student accounts team by e-mail: studentaccountsteam@plymouth.ac.uk.
The Higher Education sector is seeing rising levels of fraud in relation to the payment of tuition fees. Please do not pay your tuition fee through a ‘third party facilitator’, particularly if that facilitator approaches you direct and offers a discount. A ‘third party facilitator’ could also be someone known to you, such as another student, or a former student at the same university.
You should only ever pay your fee direct to the University using our authorised payment methods.
Chinese students have been particularly targeted. The City of London Police’s Dedicated Card and Payment Crime Unit (DCPCU) has issued an information document which provides further information. It is available in English and Chinese.
Please stay alert and if you have any concerns please contact the Student Accounts team in the first instance – studentaccountsteam@plymouth.ac.uk
You should receive a confirmation letter from the Professional Development Unit detailing the cost of your module(s). If you are paying the tuition fee yourself, please ensure it is paid before the module start date.
If an organisation is paying your fees, please ensure that the sponsorship form, sent to you with your application form, is fully completed and returned to the Professional Development Unit. An invoice will not be sent to your sponsor until this form is received. If your sponsoring organisation is a Health Trust, in order for us to invoice them you will need to provide the PO (Purchase Order) number as assigned by your Health Trust on the sponsor form. Unless your fully completed sponsor form is returned before the module starts you will be considered to be self-paying and required to pay the fee in full at that point. A refund to you can be subsequently arranged if your sponsor pays us later.
