Fees and Student Finance

A number of payment options are in place to spread the cost of payment over the life of the course and we are happy to invoice employers or sponsors.

Students studying on degree programmes are eligible for undergraduate and postgraduate loans from the Student Loans Company. Please see https://www.gov.uk/student-finance for full details on undergraduate funding or Master’s Loan: Overview – GOV.UK for information on funding for postgraduate taught programmes.

We recommend you read the information on eligibility carefully. Please note that, if you are studying on a psychotherapy course, you are not eligible for a student loan until you begin the MSc programme (not you the diploma years, or the UKCP Prep Year). Note also that in order to be eligible for a PG loan your course must be a full, standalone master’s course and be worth at least 180 credits. Studying less than 180 credits (for example because you are using Accredited Prior Learning credits towards your Masters course) will make you ineligible for the loan.
Disabled Students’ Allowance is available to eligible students once they have entered onto the degree part of their study. Please see https://www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowances-dsas for full details.

Tuition fees paid by a sponsor or funding body

If any of your tuition fees are being paid by a sponsoring organisation or funder, you must send the letter from them that confirms this to finance@metanoia.ac.uk. Until we have this letter you are liable for all your fees yourself.
If only some of your fees are being paid by a sponsoring organisation or funder, you must pay the rest of your fees yourself.
If you are funded or sponsored, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have applied for funding/sponsorship for each year of your study.

Self-financing

If you are a self-financing student, you must pay all your fees yourself. There are two main ways to pay:

Payment of fees in full
A deposit due immediately on acceptance to the course, followed by five direct debit payments. If two consecutive direct debit payments are returned unpaid by your bank, the remaining outstanding balance will become immediately due.

Once you have joined a course, you are responsible for the payment of fees for the year. If a student has not paid their fees as agreed at the beginning of training, Metanoia Institute reserves the right to suspend the student from training. For further details see our Cancellation Policy below.

The full fees for your preferred course can be found on the relevant course page.
