For 2026-2027, we estimate that it will cost an average of £18,504 each year (£1,542 each month) to live in Edinburgh as a postgraduate. This amount does not include study costs (like tuition fees) and will likely rise each year with inflation.

Most postgraduate students combine funding from a variety of sources to fund their fees and living costs, such as loans, scholarships and income from work.
