Tuition Fees

Scottish and EU 2020/2021 Tuition Fees 

Tuition fees rates are the same for both Scottish and EU students, but may vary between courses.

Once you have completed registration, your fees for that full academic year are due for payment.

Fee rates

Undergraduate tuition fees are set by the Scottish Government and notify Universities in April of each academic year. See the table below for the tuition fees for each course.

EU students & Brexit

The Scottish Government has confirmed that EU students starting their studies in 2020/21 will be entitled to complete their studies post-Brexit without a change in fee status.

All Scottish and EU students can apply to SAAS for tuition fee funding (undergraduate) or a tuition fee loan (postgraduate). If your application is successful, SAAS will pay your tuition fees direct to the University. For further information on SAAS funding or to make an application, visit the SAAS website.

If you’re not eligible for SAAS funding, you’ll need to arrange payment of your tuition fees as part of your online registration. All UK, EU and non-Tier 4 overseas students can pay by monthly instalments.  You can set up a monthly payment plan during the online registration process.
