Payment from an International Bank Account

You can pay your tuition fees online with a debit or credit card, using our Student Self Service Portal (S3P - Registration only) or Online Payment Portal, or by bank transfer or cheque.

When making a tuition fee payment quote your student number in the payment reference. This will ensure your payment can be allocated upon arrival.

To find your student number:

current or previously registered students - number is on your smartcard
prospective postgraduate students - number is the first 9 digits of your applicant number
If you have applied for a Tier 4 Visa - it is the first number on the top of your CAS statement

To ensure a smooth registration process, we recommend you arrange payment before arriving in Newcastle.

University tuition fees are not subject to exchange control regulations for Chinese students.

Newcastle University takes payment security very seriously. We work with our bank and our payment service providers to provide you with safe secure platforms for you to pay your fees.

Cash Payments

We want to protect you by making sure you don't take unnecessary risks with your money. To ensure your safety in paying your tuition fees, we no longer accept cash payments.

Ways to pay:

Student Self Service Portal (S3P) - for Registration only

You can only pay your fees using S3P if you:

are invited to register on S3P but haven’t completed your registration

are required to pay a portion of your tuition fee balance before you can register (see instalment dates for details)

can pay in one debit or credit card transaction

You can choose to pay in full and receive a 2% early payment discount or pay the first tuition fee instalment only. If you choose to pay in full, please make sure you only pay 98% of the fee as shown in S3P

The financial details page will show your tuition fee balance for the academic year. The benefits of payment using S3P are:

payment is quick and easy
