Students who wish to make payment of their residence and / or tuition 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 called Global Pay for Students. This allows you or your parents, to pay your fees in the currency of your choice, giving you a simple, quick and secure way to initiate the payment.
