Accommodation Fee Payment Options
There are several ways to pay for accommodation. The options include paying in eight instalments, one payment in full or two equal semester instalments. The payment methods available can differ depending on the option you choose.
8 Instalments by Direct Debit or Recurring Card Payment
Example if paying by 8 instalments:
Total Accommodation Fees (Standard Room) Ā£5282.00 minus Prepayment (Non Refundable) Ā£250.00. This equals Ā£5032.00 paid over 8 monthly instalments of Ā£629.00 from October to May.
Direct Debit Instalments
8 monthly instalments via UK bank account from October to May.
A direct debit is a regular automated payment from a UK bank account direct to the Universityās bank account in payment of your fees. The direct debit instalment plan consists of 8 equal monthly payments from October ā May.
To pay by direct debit please print off and complete the direct debit form then post it to the Finance Office or bring it with you when you arrive. Your completed direct debit form should be returned to the Finance Office at least 15 working days before the first instalment date.
Payment plan dates are detailed on the direct debit form and you should select either plan A or B. If you are an EU/international student and intend to open a UK bank account you can arrange this after arrival.
Recurring Card Payment (RCP)
8 monthly instalments by credit/debit card from October to May.
To set up a RCP using your debit/credit card you should login to the QMU Student Portal where you will see your invoice and the option to pay in instalments.
