Imperial College London Fees Payment

Imperial College London has partnered with Convera and Flywire to provide secure, trackable, and multilingual payment options.

Students can pay via the following:

• International or UK bank transfers
• Debit/Credit Cards
• Alternative methods: Alipay, WeChat Pay, and e-wallets

Note: Imperial does not accept direct bank transfers into their bank account (except via the above payment portals), cheques or cash for student payments, which includes cash paid directly to the university’s bank.

Getting a Receipt: You will receive an automatic email confirmation once the payment is credited to your Imperial account. This email only confirms receipt of funds and does not serve as an official receipt. The credited amount may be slightly lower due to bank charges. If you require a receipt for your UKVI visa application, the safest and easiest option is to upload the payment details to your CAS.

Late Payment Fees: If you are late on a payment, the college will charge you a late fee after the due date. You will continue to be charged a late fee every day – at an annualised rate of 7.5% above the base rate of National Westminster Bank Plc – until your charges and late fees are paid in full or until you have agreed a payment plan with Credit Control.

Note: If you defer entry, your fee will be based on the fee applicable in the year you start your course.
