Before engaging an agent, we recommend you clarify any service charges and understand what services are included.
You should NEVER pay tuition fees or deposits to an agent — all payments must be made directly to Abertay University.
Our accredited representatives are contracted partners who are remunerated by the University for the services they provide.
We regularly review agent performance and take student feedback into account to ensure all partners maintain our high standards of integrity and professionalism.
While agents are not authorised to collect tuition fees on behalf of Abertay, they may charge for their own advisory services. If an agent charges a fee, they must clearly explain:
What the fee covers
When it's due
Whether it's refundable
If you're unsure about any charges, please ask your agent for clarification before proceeding.
Depending on your offer conditions, you may be required to pay:
A non-refundable prepayment of 50% of your tuition fee before receiving your unconditional offer; and/or
Full payment of your tuition fees before course registration.
