In order to complete your registration, you must make arrangements to pay your tuition fees. If you are paying your own tuition fees you must pay at least one third of your fees online at the point of registration either by card or bank transfer with the remaining tuition fees being payable in two instalments by set dates (see table below).
If you wish to pay in instalments our preference is that you do so by completing a Direct Debit when you register, although you can pay using a card or by bank transfer to pay your second and third instalments on set dates (see table below). If you would like to pay your tuition fees in instalments by Direct Debit, this can be paid by you, a parent, guardian, relative or friend but must be on a UK bank account. Click here for further information about how to open a UK bank account.
A Direct Debit is an instruction from you to your bank authorising the University of Manchester to collect fees directly from your account. We will give you advanced notice before any payments are taken or if the terms of the Direct Debit are changed in any way. Once you have set up a Direct Debit your fees will be collected automatically from your account on the instalment dates below.

You can set up a new Direct Debit or amend an existing Direct Debit through your MyManchester account. Just go to your My profile section and click on ‘Update my bank details’. You will then be able to enter the bank account which will be used to pay your fees.
Once your Direct Debit has been set up the account holder will receive an email which confirms the dates of the instalments and the amounts that are due. As long as there is enough money in the bank account on the due date you will not need to do anything else – the payment will be taken automatically.
You can cancel your Direct Debit at any time either through your MyManchester account or by contacting your bank. If you change your Direct Debit to a new bank account you will need to provide us with the details at least 10 working days before the next instalment.
Please be aware that Direct Debits can only be paid from a UK bank account.
The Direct Debit Guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay by Direct Debit. It protects you if an error occurs in the payment of your Direct Debit. If an error is made by your bank or by the University you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid by your bank or building society.
If you don’t want to set up a Direct Debit there are a range of options to pay in full.
