Cardiff University does not typically require an initial deposit for most undergraduate or postgraduate courses. However, exceptions exist for certain programs, such as MBA or international foundation courses, where a deposit might be necessary to secure a place.
For international students, a tuition fee deposit may be required after receiving an offer, often ranging between £1,000 and £3,000, depending on the course. This deposit is usually deducted from the total tuition fees. Always check the university’s official website or contact admissions for program-specific details, as policies can change.
