Scotland tuition fees and other costs

How much it will cost to study with us if you are paying the Scotland fee rate.

Tuition fees

Scotland fee rate

The Scotland fee rate for 2025 is £1,820. 

 

This is the fee rate for all full-time undergraduate degree programmes except for graduate entry to the BVM&S Veterinary Medicine and graduate entry to the LLB Law programmes. 

How to apply for your tuition fees to be paid

If you normally live in Scotland and you’re studying full-time for your first degree, you may be eligible for your tuition fees to be paid by the Scottish Government for your full period of study.  

You must apply every year to the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) to have your tuition fees paid.

You can find more information on where and how to apply for your tuition fees to be paid on our Funding page.

Funding 

If you have a confirmed government award that covers your tuition fee, and the University has been notified by SAAS, you will not be invoiced for fees. SAAS will make payment to the University on your behalf. You should be aware, however, that arranging the payment of fees and charges is your responsibility.  

If you need to pay your tuition fees 

If you do not have your funding arrangement in place at matriculation you may need to pay the tuition fees yourself. 

If you are financing your own studies, or are partly self-funded, you must make arrangements to pay your tuition fees before or at registration. 

Living costs

You will be responsible for your living costs while studying. This includes accommodation, utility bills and food.  

You can get a detailed breakdown of how much you can expect to spend on living costs on the Living costs page.  

Support with living costs 

You can also apply to SAAS for loans and bursaries to help you with living costs. Find out more on our Funding page. 

Additional studying costs

Some programmes also involve additional costs, for example studying abroad or compulsory field courses.

You should make sure you are aware of these costs early on in your application process.

Check our degree finder for information on any additional costs for your chosen programme.
