Fee FAQs

When will I receive my invoice?

You will then have 21 days from the date on the invoice to pay in full. Alternatively you can set up a payment plan with Finance via the .

If you or your sponsor needs an invoice sooner than this, please email registry@qmu.ac.uk

I have attempted matriculation, but my fees are not showing on the 'Summary of Fees Due and Sponsorship' screen. Should I still proceed?

If you are studying part time then you will need to select your modules before we can generate an invoice for you. You should however still proceed with matriculation and we can then generate your invoice once your modules have been selected.

I have attempted matriculation but my funding / student loan has not yet been confirmed, can I still proceed?

If your employer is the NHS, it is likely that they will require a purchase order number to appear on the invoice. Please note that is it the student's responsibility to notify us of this information.

If your sponsor information is not provided by 1st October an invoice will be sent to the student.

My employer or sponsor is paying for my tuition, but I have received the invoice. Who should I contact?
