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

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.

You can choose to pay in full and receive a 2% early payment discount or pay the first tuition fee instalment only.
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
pay and immediatelycontinue with registration
receive email receipt of payment
Once you have registered no financial information will show on S3P. To make further payments in the academic year you must use one of the payment methods listed below.
Direct debits can only be set up from UK bank accounts.
If a direct debit is set up, payments will be taken directly from your bank account. You will receive an Advance Payment Notice (APN) outlining your instalment dates and amounts.
If you are a Home Fee Paying Undergraduate or PGCE student, all instalments can be made using direct debit. If you are a postgraduate student you cannot make the first instalment by direct debit, but all other instalments can be made this way. You can use an alternative method of payment found on this page to pay for your first instalment.
Open Banking is a commonly used payment solution that allows you to make an online real-time payment by bank transfer from your UK bank account.
You will be required to authenticate the payment in the same way as if you are processing a bank transfer using online banking on your mobile or computer e.g. a one-time passcode sent to you from your bank or facial recognition. Payments are processed through Sofort by Klarna, an Open Banking provider.
If you would prefer to pay by bank transfer this option is also available to you by using Newcastle University's Payment Platform*. Once you select pay by bank transfer you will receive the bank account details to make the payment to.
To make payment, visit Newcastle University's Payment Platform* and in the ‘Paying Fees from’ drop down menu select United Kingdom. Enter the amount you wish to pay and select Sofort to pay by Open Banking or select to pay by bank transfer.
