Ease the cost of your course with our customised payment plans. We have a range of flexible solutions so you can enjoy the convenience of spreading the cost through affordable monthly payments that suit your budget.
We believe that your personal circumstances or finances should never get in the way of your education and shaping your future.
At Open Study College, we help you choose the best payment option to suit you. You can pay for your course upfront or spread the cost across flexible payment terms. Whichever option you choose, please do make sure it's the right one for you and your personal circumstances.
You can also pay for your course through Klarna. Simply select Klarna at checkout and you'll be given options. You can either delay paying the cost of your course for 30 days, or, spread the cost of your course across three payments. Both of these options are interest free, if you pay on time. To pay with Klarna you need a UK bank account, you must be 18 years of age or over, and have a UK residential address. For more details, visit Klarna's terms and conditions here.
To Pay in 3 with PayPal, select PayPal as your payment method at checkout and we’ll redirect you to PayPal’s website. You’ll need to complete a short registration form if you are a new PayPal customer. This will include providing PayPal with some details including your name, date of birth, address, e-mail and your debit or credit card details. You will also need to read and accept PayPal’s terms and conditions, in order to complete your order. If you are an existing PayPal customer, you just need to select and log in to your PayPal account and accept PayPal’s terms and conditions to complete your order. You will receive an instant decision after some initial checks by PayPal, confirming if you are eligible to use ‘Pay In 3’ as a payment method.
If approved, payment for your item(s) will be taken in three equal interest-free* instalments. You’ll be required to make the first instalment when placing your order. The remaining balance is split into two equal payments that are automatically deducted from your PayPal account over the next two months on the same day of the month as the date of purchase (unless your payment is due on a date which doesn’t exist in that month, in which case the payment will be taken on the last day of that month). The amount owed will be adjusted for any returns. You can log in to your PayPal account, at any time to see the status of your payments.
*Late payments
If you do not make a payment in full by the due date, PayPal may report your failure to pay to credit reference agencies, which could affect your credit rating and make it more difficult for you to obtain credit in future. If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact PayPal. For more details, visit PayPal's website here.
