Once you have received an unconditional offer of a place on a course and we have received your firm acceptance of that offer, you will be sent an email in later summer 2011 with your unique login details, inviting you to activate your IT account and to register as a student with us online.

Confirm your personal details, including your name, date of birth, address and contact details;
Confirm your course details;
Choose a library PIN;

Pay your tuition fees
Once you have completed the online elements of registration please print your Registration Certificate, which you must bring with you to your induction session at City University London. If you are paying Overseas fees, you must also bring with you your passport. Alternatively, if you do not need a visa to enter the UK or are a UK or EU citizen, please bring along any other form of national photgraphic ID in order that we can complete the final ID check, take copies of visas and passports where necessary and finally, issue you with your City University London ID card.
ID check/card collection
Please refer to the induction timetable below for information on when you are expected to collect your ID card.
Paying fees
How do I pay my fees?
You can pay online, by telephone, in person, by post, or by bank giro credit.
What types of payment do you accept?
Sterling UK cheque (payable to 'City University London') - Eurocheques are no longer accepted
Bank giro credit
Credit card (Visa, Access, Mastercard, but NOT American Express or Diners Club)
Debit card (Maestro, Visa Delta, Visa Electron) - note that for amounts over £3000 Maestro is not suitable, so please use an alternative method of payment
Direct debit - under certain circumstances (for accommodation fees, and if you are eligible to use the instalment scheme for payment of tuition fees)
Sterling cash for amounts of less than £2,500 (for security reasons students are advised not to pay large sums in cash)
How to pay online
Complete the electronic form for online payments, using one of the accepted debit or credit cards listed above.
How to pay by telephone
To make a telephone payment, call our automated service on +44 (0)20 7040 6040. You will be asked to pay using one of the accepted debit or credit cards listed above. Please have your card ready.
How to pay in person
Payments can be made at the Cash Office in room E124 in Drysdale Building (using one of the accepted types of payment listed above) where we can give you an official receipt, and you can be sure that the payment will be credited to your account straight away.
How to pay by post
If you wish to pay by post, we advise you to complete a hard copy form with the details of your debit or credit card, or direct debit instruction (using one of the accepted types of payment listed above). The forms are linked to the accepted types of payment above and can be printed off and posted to us at the address on the form.
How to pay by bank giro credit
If you use bank giro credit to make a payment, paying a cheque into the University account at a bank or transfer money from abroad there will be a delay before we can credit the payment to your account, as we have first to identify it; we are not automatically given the name of the payee for payments made this way. The delay can be avoided if you ensure that your bank quotes your name and the name of the course that you are studying when making payment to us. The bank should also be able to give you a receipt or a remittance advice which you can either send to us or bring to the COSAF Office.
The University's bank details are:
Account name: City University
Account number: 03028836

Please note: the University has an obligation to comply with recent UK legislation which requires us to monitor certain financial transactions. We may conduct 'know your customer' checks on you when you make your payment. You will be required to present documentary evidence to confirm your name, date of birth and current address. This will normally be your passport or national identity photocard to confirm your name and date of birth along with a utility bill, rental agreement or similar document to confirm your address.
We will be required to conduct a Know Your Customer check on you if you are paying a sum greater than £2,500 by any of the following three methods:
Cash (ie notes and coins)
Cheque drawn on a bank outside the UK
Bank transfer from outside the UK
Advice on payment methods for overseas students who do not have a UK bank account is given on the Paying fees - overseas students page.
Instalment scheme
The University operates an instalment payment scheme for most self-financing students.
Sponsored students
If your fees will be paid by a sponsor, you must either make payment at or before registration or present a completed Sponsorship form (SP1), signed and stamped by the sponsor's representative, agreeing to payment of the fee within 30 days of an invoice being presented. If the fee is not paid promptly you will become personally liable for the debt. Please note that companies run by relatives or friends will not be accepted as sponsors.
Deposits
A non-refundable deposit of £1,000 is requested for this Masters Programme. This amount is deducted from the fees when you register.
