Credit or debit card

What cards can I use?

We accept payment through American Express, Mastercard, Visa and Visa Electron.

You can use your card to pay online, through your StudentHome portal, or over the phone with our Student Recruitment team. Full payment of your module fee completes your registration and secures your place.

Can I use a card to part-pay?

Yes, you can. More information about mixing payments is on our bank transfers and mixed payments page.

To someone worried about the cost of studying with The Open University, I’d say if you know what you want to do and a qualification is important for you, then go for it because you can pay it back later and slowly… The Open University is more flexible than an ‘ordinary’ university, and you can earn while you’re doing it.
