Deposits are required for all of our Master's programmes. This is normally 10% of the course fee.

Once you have accepted your offer you will be required to pay a deposit to secure your place on the programme. The only exemption from this are students with confirmed sponsorship for the full value of their tuition fees, who will need to provide proof of their funding before being exempted.

How to pay

You will automatically be invoiced for the deposit, normally within six working days of accepting your offer.

Deposit invoices will be sent by email and the deposit must be paid within 30 working days of invoicing; failure to pay the deposit on time may result in an offer being withdrawn.

Please note that the deposit process is automated and so you do not need to contact us to request an invoice.

If you have not received a deposit invoice within six working days of accepting your offer, or you have any other queries relating to deposits, please contact a member of the Tuition Fees team.

You will normally receive a deposit invoice within six working days of accepting your conditional offer. Once we receive your deposit payment your place will be fully secured. If you have any queries relating to paying your deposit, please contact the relevant Admissions Team.

Can you extend the deposit deadline?

If you have received a deposit invoice as part of your offer conditions, but are unable to pay by the deadline, either because you are applying for funding or you are uncertain whether you can take up your place, please email tuition.fees@imperial.ac.uk to request an extension to the deadline.

These requests will be subject to your department's approval.

Submitting your sponsorship letter

If you have received a deposit invoice as part of your offer, but are in receipt of financial sponsorship from an official authority of scholarship body, you should email a copy of your sponsor letter to the relevant Admissions team.
