Postgraduate Acceptance Deposit for Overseas Students

If more than two weeks elapse between you accepting your offer and making the £500 payment, we remove your acceptance of the offer. Your offer will remain in place until you accept the offer and pay the £500 Postgraduate Acceptance Deposit within the 14-day window.

No – this deposit is only for students studying Master’s degrees or above. The deposit for Bachelor’s degree students will be the tuition deposit required to obtain your CAS. More information on the CAS and the tuition deposit is found on the visas and immigration page of this website.

The deposit is non-refundable, so we recommend that you pay the deposit when you are confident you will meet the requirements. You can also defer your offer should you need more time to meet the admission requirements, and the payment will carry over to the next start date.

The deposit is non-refundable so if you change your mind about studying at AUB, you will forfeit the deposit. You are welcome to defer your place to the next intake if that fits better with your plans and you would not be required to pay a new deposit.

No, this is not the same deposit, but will count towards the deposit required to obtain a CAS. Once you have met the conditions of your offer and your application is unconditional, the next step will be to apply for your CAS, which is proof of AUB’s sponsorship of your visa to study in the UK.

To obtain the CAS, you will pay a minimum of one third of your tuition as a deposit. If you have paid the acceptance deposit, you will only need to pay the balance to make up one third (or the required amount for your country’s deposit) to receive the CAS.

For more information on obtaining a CAS, please visit the visas and immigration page of this website.

If your visa is not granted, your tuition deposit can be refunded, minus an administration fee for issuing your CAS, in accordance with the Deposits Payment Policy.

Yes, the acceptance deposit will count toward your tuition deposit needed before we issue the CAS. This means that the amount you would need to pay when requesting the CAS will be £500 less.

More information on CAS application and required deposit is available on our website.
