Fees & Scholarships

Please find further information about scholarships and finance in the sections below.

We require a non-refundable tuition fee deposit of £2,000. If you require a Student Route visa to study in the UK, we also require a £21 administration charge for your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies number (CAS).  

Deposits and tuition fee payments should be paid in your local currency through our partner Flywire. Various payment options are offered through Flywire depending on the country the payment originates from, including bank transfer and credit/debit card. Click here to access the University Flywire payment portal.

On receipt of your deposit and providing you have met all academic conditions, you will be sent a UKVI Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. You will need your CAS to apply for your Student Route student visa. We issue CAS from March onwards - please ensure you make your visa application without delay.

How to pay through Flywire using a Form A

Please note Flywire is the University's only agreed method of payment.

If you are a student from Nigeria and you would like to make payment for your tuition fees using Form A, please click here to find details on how you can process this payment through Flywire in GBP.  Following this process will ensure there are no additional costs to yourself and you can still benefit from the Form A discounted rate through a local bank.

When funds are sent via Flywire, both the payer and institution have full payment visibility, enabling them to easily track funds throughout the payment journey. Payers will receive email update notifications at each point in the payment process.

Please note, currently, payments through this method are taking longer than usual. Therefore we recommend allowing additional time to complete the payment process.

International (students from outside the UK) fee-paying students directly progressing from a Leeds Arts University further education course to a Leeds Arts University BA (Hons) degree course, or from a Leeds Arts University BA (Hons) degree course to a Leeds Arts University postgraduate course, will qualify for a tuition fee reduction of £1,750 per year of study.

No application is necessary - the International Progression Award is awarded automatically.

Students in receipt of the International Progression Award can also apply for the Vice-Chancellor's International Undergraduate Scholarship and the Skin Chancellor's Scholarship but students successful in their application for a scholarship will not also be eligible for the International Progression Award in the same academic year.

The University is delighted to offer a Skin's Chancellor Scholarship for an international undergraduate student commencing their studies in 2023/24. A cash scholarship of £3,000 per year for three years will be awarded to one international student. Click here for more information.
