Fee deposits

The University operates a fee deposit scheme for all international master’s students. Once you have received an offer you should pay your fee deposit of £2,000 as soon as possible.

The University will only issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) once your deposit payment has been received, and any academic conditions required have been met.

All other Postgraduate Taught programmes

For all other PGT Programmes deposits must be received by no later than 31^st July.  If we do not receive your deposit by 31^st July your offer may be withdrawn and a CAS will not be issued.

CAS are issued for postgraduate programmes from June onwards. Your CAS is an essential document when you are applying for your student visa through the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) Student Route points-based system.

As students from different countries tend to apply at different points in the application cycle, deposit deadlines will vary dependent on country admission trends. Information deadline dates for payments of fee deposits will be updated on this page in due course.

For programmes which start in January 2024, a payment must be received by no later than 30th November.  If we do not receive your deposit by this date your offer may be withdrawn and a CAS will not be issued.

How do applicants make a payment?

Payments should be made through our authorised payment partner, CIBC, after an applicant has received an offer; https://pay.cibc.com/liverpool

Deposit refunds

The deposit payment is non-refundable if the offer is unconditional unless there are mitigating circumstances meaning that the applicant cannot study.

The deposit payment is refundable if offer holders do not meet the conditions of their offer (academic conditions, English Language, references, etc). Applicants have until the 31st July 2023 meet the conditions of the offer and we expect offer holders to make every effort to meet these.

Refund requests should be submitted through the Postgraduate Tracker; https://pgapptracker.liverpool.ac.uk/

Refund requests will not be dealt with until after 31st July 2023.

The deadline to request a refund is 31st October 2023.

As students from different countries tend to apply at different points in the application cycle, deposit deadlines may vary dependent on country admission trends and application numbers monitoring.
