Advice & Support: Infomation for Self-Funded Students

This time of year is tough for self-funded students with exams, cost of living pressures and the added stress of the looming January payment deadline. It is important to stay informed and act swiftly to avoid de-registration and late fees.

We are aware that this time of year is tough for self-funded students with exams, cost of living pressures and the added stress of the looming January payment deadline. Your executive officers are actively lobbying the university to better the support and options available for self-funded students. In the meantime, it is important to stay informed and act swiftly to avoid de-registration and late fees.

For an overview on tuition fees, self-funding options and de-registration, information for home students can be found here and for international students here.

Below are some resources that may be helpful:
  • If you need to arrange an instalment plan, do so here.
  • If you encounter issues please contact the fees office on the ground floor of the IQ East Court 450 Mile End Road, London E1 4GG. Do so as early as possible as missing the 31st January deadline leads to deregistration or late fees, it is important to sort our queries beforehand.
  • If you have questions about funding, have difficulties getting student funding in place or may know you are unable to pay your fees please contact Advice & Counselling here.
You can find advice on budgeting and funding information below:

- Undergraduate and Postgraduate students

- International students

- Money management

Please do look after yourselves, it can be a stressful time but there is wellbeing support available.

If you are struggling to feed yourself the Student Union Food Pantry is located next to the SU reception in Mile End and the BLSA food pantry is found next to the entrance to the Recovery Room.

More cost of living support and advice can be found here and here.
