Tuition Fees in Scotland
Whether you're a student from the EU/EEA/EFTA or further afield, you'll probably need to pay tuition fees to study in Scotland. Learn more about Scottish university tuition here.
Scotland is unique in that the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) pays the fees for local students (including โsettled' and โpre-settled' students from the EU/EEA/EFTA).
International students (both EU/EEA/EFTA and non-EU/EEA/EFTA nationals) pay the same international fees across the whole UK. These fees are higher than those for local students.
General undergraduate tuition fees:
| Humanities/Social Sciences | ยฃ10,000-32,000 annually |
| Science/Engineering | ยฃ10,000-32,000 annually |
| Clinical degrees | up to ยฃ68,000 annually |

Graduate/postgraduate tuition fees
Fees can fluctuate to even higher levels, and tuition fees for graduate and postgraduate degrees vary, depending on your institution and program of study. In general, graduate/postgraduate tuition fees range from ยฃ6,500-52,000 annually.
While UK tuition costs are higher than elsewhere in the world, remember that undergraduate programs generally last three years (instead of four), and most master's programs last one year (instead of two).
If you are a local or a settled/pre-settled EU/EEA/EFTA student, you can find out more about your funding options throughout the UK by visiting the UK Council for International Student Affairs or Gov.uk page for student finance.
