Payments by credit card or international debit card are accepted 

An International Bank Transfer system (Transfermate) is available at Bangor to facilitate payment of various fees including deposits, tuition fees, English language courses fees and accommodation fees in your local currency at your local bank. Group payment by our official providers or agents is also possible. Using this service will involve completing the online forms and visiting your bank in person to arrange the transfer. There is no charge for this service.

Please note that this facility is for new international students enrolling on a new course of study. This facility is not available to international students progressing into their second or third year of studies.

Please refer to the details here about how to make a payment using Transfermate.

When to pay & Instalment options

All International Students who have been accepted to study at Bangor University and who require a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) Letter will be required to pay a deposit as specified in their offer letter of Admission.

The deposit will be offset against the students' first-year tuition fee. Please see the section below for further details on the payment of tuition fees.

Deposit payment is not compulsory for Government-sponsored students and Bangor University.

Deposit payment deadline

The deadline dates to pay your deposits for the next intakes are:

  • Postgraduate Taught Courses (September2024/25 intake): 6 September 2024
  • Postgraduate Taught Courses (January 2024/2025 intake): TBC

We do strongly recommend you make the deposit payment as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary delays which could result in the below:
