International Tuition Fees
We know that when it comes to studying in the UK, the cost of study is one of the most important factors. University Centre Leeds has very competitive fees and large scholarships available for international students.
The table below shows the tuition fees for your course and further information about how and when to pay your fees.
Do I need to pay International Fees?
The information on these pages applies to those who qualify as international students. Fee status is determined by the regulations laid down by the UK Government. You can read a good introduction to fee status regulations on the UKCISA website.
If there is any doubt about your tuition fee status when you apply, this is checked by the University Centre and you may be asked to supply certain documents or answer specific questions in order for us to come to a decision.
If you have any concerns about which level of tuition fees you should be paying, or anything else about International Fees and Funding, please email [email protected] and we'd be happy to talk to you.

Making a Tuition Fee Payment
Payments can be made via the online student portal, which is our preferred method of payment. The student portal gives you access to many important resources including paying tuition fees against your student account. Payments must be made in GBP.
To pay your tuition fees:
- Log in to your Student Portal
- Click on My Finance, where you can select the option to make a payment online
- Clicking this will redirect you to the Flywire Portal where you will see the options available to you and the corresponding amounts due in local/other currencies
- Pay by credit/debit card, bank transfer, or other online payments via Flywire. The available payment methods will depend on the country you are paying from
- Once your payment has been set up in Flywire, to complete the process, please select the ‘Return to Leeds Conservatoire’ button. Do not click the back browser navigation button
- Once payment is approved, you will be able to print a receipt
Flywire enables you to make payments easily and securely in your own currency using a variety of local payment methods including online banking, bank transfers and cards. The available payment methods depend on the country you are paying from.
