Accepting your offer

If you receive an offer and would like to accept your place, you will be required to pay a deposit. This deposit reserves your place on the course. We encourage you to pay the deposit before the deadline in your offer email as missing this deadline could mean your place on the course is offered to another applicant.

Make your deposit payment online

Click the link above to make your deposit payment online. The deposit amount required will be quoted in your offer email. Afterwards, please send a copy of your payment receipt to abspgaccept@aston.ac.uk quoting your Applicant ID number. This is very important as we will need your ID number to identify the payment and match it with your application.

If you would like to make a payment by bank transfer, please refer to our payment methods page.

If you are being sponsored or are a UK student applying for a postgraduate loan with Student Finance England, please email abspgaccept@aston.ac.uk with evidence of this e.g., a sponsorship letter or proof of your application for the postgraduate Loan. Please remember to quote your Applicant ID number so that we can match this to your application.

You are a sponsored student if all or part of your tuition or accommodation fees will be paid by an external organisation (not a family member). This may be an employer, a government/embassy or scholarship funding organisation. Aston University will send an invoice directly to your sponsor.

Please ask your sponsor to write a letter on company headed paper or an official purchase order, which clearly states the following details:

• Your full name.
• Full details of where the invoice should be sent, including sponsor contact name, address and e-mail address.
• Any reference or name that needs to be quoted on the invoice.
• What fees are to be paid by the sponsor (tuition, accommodation or both).
• Amount of money the sponsor is contributing to tuition or accommodation costs (the value in GBP or percentage of the fees).
• How long the sponsorship will last. For example, whether you are being sponsored for one academic year only or for every year of your course. If this changes, your sponsor will need to send us another letter. For example, if you are being sponsored for one academic year only, but your sponsor later decides to sponsor you for every year of your course.

• Please note: if you inform us that you are a sponsored student, but we don't receive a letter from your sponsor, you will be charged. We reserve the right to reject a sponsor letter and if your sponsor does not pay, you will be personally responsible for payment of the debt.
• Please note: Tuition fee instalment plans are not applicable to sponsored students. Sponsors are required to make full payment within 30 days of the invoice date.

We do not need to see evidence that the loan has been approved, only that you have submitted your application for the loan. You can provide emails you have received from SFE or screenshots of your application submission within the SFE portal, which clearly states the following details:

• Your full name.
• The programme you have applied to study.
• The institution name (Aston University).
• The date/academic year.
