Welcome to Anglia Ruskin University's secure online payment service. This section explains the different methods of paying your tuition and accommodation fees. It also has information on our no cash or cheque policy, and advice on being aware of scams and frauds.
If you're a UK student you can defer your tuition fee payments by taking out a student loan. Many part-time students can also apply for a loan, and you won't start paying it back until after you graduate. Find out more about loans for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Tuition and accommodation fees can both be paid directly using the following methods.
To minimise the risks around fraud and money laundering, we strongly discourage you from making direct bank transfers to the University. Students are expected to pay their University fees using one of the payment methods below.
If you have any questions or need help, please contact the Fees Team on +44 (0) 1245 683190 or email fees@aru.ac.uk.
Option A
You can now make an immediate bank transfer from your UK bank account to Anglia Ruskin, via our KLARNA Open Banking Payment Solution, powered by our partner Western Union Business Solutions.
Your payment will then be received and allocated to your fee invoice in 2-3 working days.
This is a secure, efficient and easy way to process your payment, without the worry of entering the wrong bank account details or the wrong payment reference.
This option allows you to pay the fee using the same authentication methods as you would for your existing mobile or online banking.
No transaction fees passed onto the payer by Anglia Ruskin University.
Option B
Alternatively, if you prefer to make a manual bank transfer payment, requiring you instead to enter the bank account details to send the payment to and to enter the correct payment reference, then this option is also available on this payment solution.
Please note that this option will take slightly longer to be received and allocated to your invoice at around 3-4 working days, so we recommend using the Klarna Open Banking Solution as it is slightly quicker and very easy to use.
Start paymentStudents who wish to make payment of their tuition fees and/or accommodation fees by international bank transfer, are often vulnerable to fluctuating exchange rates and bank charges from both the sending and receiving bank.
International students can now pay their fees using our payment platform, powered by our partner Western Union Business Solutions called Global Pay for Students. This allows you or your parents to pay your fees in the currency of your choice. It is a simple, quick and secure way to initiate payment.

In the interest of ensuring your payment appears on your account as quickly as possible, we do not accept cheques or drafts as a payment method. Please use one of the three payment methods above.
Please take care when deciding how to pay your fees and take time to visit our Scams and fraud page to help protect yourself.
The three methods of payment listed above are our preferred ways of paying your fees as they are safe and secure. If you choose to use an alternative route of payment you may be putting yourself and your funding at risk of scams and fraud.
