Flexible payment plans

We understand that financing your education is an important consideration, and we are committed to making this process easier by offering flexible tuition fee payment plans for most international students coming to SRUC to study.

Eligible students can pay their tuition fees with an initial deposit of £5,000 followed by five equal instalments of their remaining cost. This allows you to manage your budget by spreading the cost of studying with us.

Tuition fee payments can be made via secure bank transfer, Flywire or other approved payment methods.
