Tuition fees are always paid direct to the uni. Given that you're not involved in when and how those funds are transferred, why would you care whether its paid up front, in two installments, "bit by bit", or whatever?

I've had tuition fees payed directly "up until now" meaning I now have to pay myself so im asking if its ok to pay bit by bit otherwise why would I care lol
Hi, I’m going to be paying university directly (not entitled to student loan) as far as I could see with my uni you have to pay in full at the beginning of the course or 50% at the beginning and 50% by the end of December. Your university might offer a payment plan but you will need to talk with the finance team about it.

Ah, that makes more sense!

In that case, I'll direct you to the "Can I pay my tuition fees in instalments?" question in their FAQ (here) which says:

"Yes, you can select the option to pay in two instalments if:

- you are in attendance for the full academic year; and
- your share of the tuition fee is £1000 or more

If you select this option, you must pay 50% of the total amount on 1 October and the remaining 50% on 1 February."

Thanks! yes I'm full time and since it's a masters course I need to pay full tuition. I'm only asking about paying bit by bit because I get my postgrad loan in 3 installments so need to know if I need to arrange the full £12000+ in one go at the start of the year or no.

Hi you seem to know a lot and I had a question idk who to ask. I got an offer for an msc course and I want to accept the offer as it is my top choice but when accepting they ask if I've accepted an offer at another uni too. I accepted an offer from my undergrad uni which is now unconditional and I also accepted an offer from a different uni which I am trying to withdraw my application but the uni isn't responding so atm I still have an accepted offer there. so if I say yes to Sheffield about having accepted other offers at different unis, will this affect my place there?

Are Sheffield asking whether you currently hold (present tense) any accepted offers, or whether you have accepted (past tense) any other offers? If it's the latter, then regardless of whether you manage to withdraw from your current unconditional offer, you would need to answer "Yes".

Also, you say you "got an offer for an msc course" from Sheffield. Does that offer have any conditions attached? If not, then they can't withdraw the offer based on you having already accepted an offer elsewhere.

tbh it would be yes for both past and present tense and the statement says "I confirm that I have accepted the offer of a place at another institution" which i have but i plan on declining those offers once my sheffield offwr turns unconditional. im just worried theyll take the offer back or smth later.

The only requirement the sheffield course offer has is getting a 2:1 or above which I have I'm just waiting for my certificate so I can upload and the offer will turn unconditional.
