Tuition Fees

The University requires payment of tuition fees in full prior to the start of your course alternatively, a payment plan must be arranged prior to or during online enrolment via ePay, our online payment system.

If you are studying 40 credits or less per trimester then payment must be paid in full.

Tuition fee rates

Fee information can be found online at napier.ac.uk/courses or for more information email fees@napier.ac.uk.

If you are classed as an RUK (Rest of UK which includes England, Northern Ireland and Wales) student you will retain the same fee for each academic year of continuous study.

Fee deposits

The University requires a non-refundable fee deposit of £5,000 prior to the start of your course where annual fees are in excess of £6,500. If you are an international student who requires a Tier 4 visa to study in the UK, your CAS number will not be released until your deposit payment has been received by our Fees team.

If a student declines an offer of a place on a course made to him/her after payment of the deposit, or a student enrols at Edinburgh Napier and then withdraws from study at any time before the completion of the course, the deposit will not be returned.

If a student pays a deposit and then chooses to enrol at another institution, university or college, the deposit will not be refunded.

Refunds will only be made in the event that a rejection is received for a UK student visa application or if you change your mind within 14 days of making your deposit payment.

To request a refund, students must submit the following paperwork to the University’s Finance department:

• The original unconditional offer letter from the University
• The refusal letter from the Visa office/UKISA/Immigration office
• Please note any refund issued will only be refunded to the source bank account in the country of origin

Nominating a sponsor to pay your fees

If your fees are being paid for you by a sponsor (including a government award body) you must provide evidence of sponsorship or purchase order prior to your course start date so that an invoice can be issued to the named person or organisation.

Sponsorship information can be uploaded during the online enrolment task or alternatively a letter or purchase order can be scanned and emailed to fees@napier.ac.uk

Sponsorship information can also be sent by post to Finance, Sighthill Campus, Sighthill Court, Edinburgh, EH11 4BN.

Another option would be to take your letter to the Reception at Craiglockhart, Sighthill or Merchiston who will forward the information on your behalf to the Finance department.

If you are being sponsored for more than one academic year this information will need to be updated at the start of each new academic year.

If your sponsor withdraws financial support or does not pay all or part of an invoice you will have to pay the full amount to us.
