The Sponsorship forms above applies even if you are sponsored by the RVC, in which case it must be completed by your Head of Department.

New students - please bring official sponsor letter or sponsorship form with you to enrolment day.

Continuing students - unless your initial letter specifies sponsorship is for the whole duration of your course, you will need to supply a new proof of sponsorship letter/form for each subsequent academic year during re-enrolment.

Online Payment by Credit or Debit Card

The RVC uses Global Pay for Students (GPfS) for the payment of tuition fees. The system accepts payment by card or by bank transfer, allowing you to pay tuition fees in full or make individual instalment payments. GPfS is provided by Convera (formerly Western Union Business Solutions): further details about Convera are available here.

GPfS offers the following options in most locations around the world.

You can make a payment from any bank with no GBP fees charged.

   Depending on where you are paying your fees from, you may be able to pay in another currency: the GBP amount you have specified will be paid to the RVC. If you use this option your quoted exchange rate through GPfS will be valid for 72 hours. Convera guarantees to match the cost of making a foreign currency transfer to the RVC by any other method – this is their Student Price Promise.
