How to pay your deposit and tuition fees

Transferring money to the UK can be costly, therefore Manchester Met has partnered with Flywire, one of the largest providers of education fee payments worldwide. Through Flywire you are able to pay your tuition fee deposit in your local currency by credit or debit card, bank transfer, Alipay, UnionPay and a range of other payment options relevant to your home currency. There are no bank charges, and Flywire offer 24-hour multilingual customer support.  

Your tuition fee is payable in two instalments. Through Flywire you can also choose to pay your tuition fees daily, weekly, or monthly as long as payments are made in full by the instalment due dates. 

Paying your deposit

A tuition fee deposit of £5,000 is payable in each year of study through our secure Flywire Pay Online service. Payments can be made in your local currency or alternatively in sterling if you have a UK bank account. You can visit this fee payment page for more details and a list of frequently asked questions relating to the deposit and tuition fees. 

You can email [email protected] if you have any questions about payment options. 

After you have paid your deposit

During enrolment, you can choose to pay the remaining amount either:  

• as one payment 

• or in two instalments.

At enrolment you will be directed to our payment partner Flywire to set up an instalment plan to make a full fee payment which can be done in your own currency or in sterling. There is no need to contact the University, Flywire will guide you through the process.  

If you are paying your tuition fees in instalments, you are now able to make flexible payments to the University through your Flywire account. Simply log in to your account to make additional daily, weekly, or monthly payments, and any future instalments will be reduced automatically.
