Fee status

Your tuition fee status will determine how much you pay in fees. We automatically determine your tuition fee status based on information you supply during the application process.

The different fee status categories

The fees you have to pay will depend on your nationality or visa status and the country where you are ordinarily resident. We call this your tuition fee status.  

What does ordinarily resident mean?

For undergraduate degrees, fee status is divided into: 

  • Scotland fee rate for students whose fee status is classified as: 
    • Scotland fee rate
    • EU-EEA Pre/Settled Scotland fee rate
  • Rest of UK (RUK) fee rate for students whose fee status is classified as:
    • England, Wales and Northern Ireland (RUK) fee rate
    • Republic of Ireland (ROI) fee rate
  • International fee rate for students whose fee status is classified as:
    • EU-EEA Overseas fee rate
    • Oversees fee rate
  • Graduate Entry (Veterinary Medicine and LLB Ordinary) fee rate
    • this is for applicants who already hold a degree level qualification

How we know your fee status

We will automatically determine your tuition fee status based on information you supply about yourself during the application process.  

If we cannot determine your fee status automatically, we will ask you to complete an online fee status questionnaire and supply more information.  

If you receive an offer to study with us, and we later revise your fee status based on a review or appeal request or due to changes in government guidelines, we may reassess your application. This could mean we have to withdraw your offer.  

Once you start your programme, your fee status cannot be changed.
