The University of Portsmouth requires an initial deposit for international students to secure their place. For the 2023/24 academic year, the deposit is £4,000 for most courses at both the Portsmouth and London campuses. This amount is deducted from the first year’s tuition fees.
Some specialized programs, such as those in the Faculty of Science and Health, may have different deposit requirements. The deposit is refundable only under specific conditions, such as visa refusal with documented evidence. Applicants should check the university’s official website or contact admissions for course-specific details.
