Terms and Conditions

We will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses in accordance with the descriptions set out in the prospectus.

The course charts are indicative and may be subject to change. We are largely dependent on public funds that need to be managed in a way that is efficient and cost effective. We therefore reserve the right to make variations to the content of courses and/or method of delivery; to discontinue, merge or combine courses if we consider that such action is necessary in the context of our wider purpose. We also make changes to our programmes to reflect the changing needs of the arts and entertainment industries. In the rare event of us discontinuing a course we will use all reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative, failing which, we shall give four weeks notice prior to the start date for the course and any fees paid will be refunded in full. We reserve the right to withdraw a subject or course up to four weeks after the published start date, where it is not considered viable and an alternative subject will be offered or a pro-rata refund of the course fee will be given.

Abiding by our rules and regulations

A condition of enrolment is that you abide by, and submit to, our rules and regulations as contained in our student handbook. These rules and regulations are subject to amendment from time to time. Extracts from the current Student Handbook can be obtained on request from the our Admissions Department.

Payment of fees

Tuition fees are, in general, due for payment in full by the student two weeks before enrolment. First year international degree course students and all Foundation Certificate course students are required to pay a deposit amounting to 25% of the first year’s fee no later than 31 May.

UK and EU students who do not take up their Student Loan entitlements are required to pay their fees in full two weeks before enrolment.

Students in receipt of UK or overseas Government loans, US Federal Financial Aid, Professional and Career Development Loans, private loans or sponsorship from a recognised source, may pay their fees in

accordance with the terms of the receipt of their funding arrangements. Written confirmation of this funding must be provided on or before enrolment.

Other students who cannot or do not access the public funding sources available to them may pay their fees in two equal instalments only if they provide a letter of guarantee from a party acceptable to the Institute. The first instalment must be paid a full two weeks before enrolment.

Fees are only payable online by debit or credit card.

Withdrawals

We reserve the right to retain up to 50% of any deposit paid where a withdrawal of acceptance of an offer is received after 31 July in the year of entry. Students who are receiving US Federal Financial Aid will be refunded as per US Department of Education R2T4 regulations.

First year and Foundation Certificate students are allowed a four week cooling off period from the date of enrolment in which to decide if they wish to continue with their studies or withdraw from their course. In the event of a student withdrawing within the first four weeks they will be charged only an administration fee which is currently £100.

Full-time undergraduate and Foundation Certificate students withdrawing after the cooling off period will be charged an administration fee, currently £100 plus a proportion of the fee payable by the student calculated on a pro-rata basis on the number of weeks of study undertaken, commencing from the date of enrolment.

For students in receipt of a SLC tuition fee loan we will restrict the amount we require you to pay to us to the amount the SLC will loan you.

Students from outside the European Economic Area who require a student visa, should note that the Institute is obliged to notify UKVI if a student has multiple unauthorised absences, fails to enrol on their course or terminates their studies.
