What is the Advance Instalment for tuition fees?
International applicants from outside the European Union, may be asked to pay a non-refundable advance payment of GBP 1500 towards their fees. This is primarily intended to assist them to obtain a visa to study in the UK and to enable the university to know more precisely in advance how many international students will actually come to study at Heriot-Watt university. If the student is corporate or government sponsored then only a financial guarantee from their sponsor will be necessary unless a full guarantee cannot be provided. If the student is self-financing or sponsored by a relative friend then a non-refundable deposit will be payable in advance by 31st July 2009 for those starting courses in mid September 2009. Secure payment should be made via the university’s secure on-line payment facility..
