Instalment plan for Certificates of Higher Education

If you enrol on 60 or more credit points

If you enrol on 30 or more credit points

If you enrol on 60 or more credit points

You have the option to pay by instalments if you enrol on a Certificate of Higher Education with modules worth at least 60 credit points or more at once. If you wish to pay by instalments, you must enrol by visiting the My Birkbeck helpdesk or downloading a Modular Enrolment form; we cannot set up instalment payments for Certificates of Higher Education via online enrolments.

 The first instalment must be paid on enrolment either in cash or by credit/debit card to reserve a place on your modules.  The  rest of the instalment payments will be made by direct debit.  The direct debit instruction must be completed on enrolment.
