FEES STRUCTURE :
- The annual tuition fees that were charged to new students entering the first year of an undergraduate degree or a one-year taught postgraduate course, most recently for those entering in September/October 2011. Note that these are tuition fees only for the full academic year and do not include accommodation, living costs or travel costs, etc.
- Most full-time undergraduate students from EU countries (outside the UK) will not be required to pay the annual tuition fee to study at a Scottish university. The Scottish Government will pay all tuition fees through Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS). Students must apply to SAAS for the payment of their tuition fees.
- Full-time undergraduate students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland are liable to pay the £1820 (£2895 for Medicine). They can, however, defer payment by applying for a tuition fee loan administered by their local authority or devolved government.
- Postgraduate course fees do not necessarily fit neatly in fee bands and further inquiry should be made to a university (or its website) for the exact fees for a particular course.
