Early payment discount scheme

The University currently offers a 3% early payment discount* to students paying their annual tuition fee in full at the start of their course year.  The discount is offered on net annual tuition fees of £8000 or over (after all fee scholarships/discounts have been deducted and does not include bench fees).

To be eligible for the discount, 97% of the net annual tuition fee must have been paid to the University of Bradford by the deadline dates in the table below (including any payments from a sponsor/third party payer).  Any overpayment of fees will be held in credit against future fee charges and will only be refunded in the final year of a students study where there are no further fees payable.

You can either:

  • Pay 97% of your net annual tuition fee in full before or during your online (re-)enrolment
  • Make payment towards your fees before your online (re-)enrolment and complete payment of the remaining 97% of your net annual tuition fee during your online (re-)enrolment
  • Pay at least 50% of your full annual fee during your online (re-)enrolment and complete payment of the remaining 97% of your net annual tuition fee before the deadline dates in the table below

*This discount scheme will not apply where an alternative early payment discount of a higher value has been applied to your annual tuition fee.
