2013 Funding: Scottish Students
Tuition charge & support
The tuition charge for one year of undergraduate study for students from Scotland studying for their first degree from 2013 will be dependent upon a student's household income. Significant reductions are available to students from the lowest income households. Information for prospective students who have studied at undergraduate level before is available on our site for those with previous study.
Household Income | Fee in first year | Fee after first year |
£0 - £16,000 | £3,500 | £6,000 |
£16,001 - £20,000 | £7,000 | £7,000 |
£20,001 - £25,000 | £8,000 | £8,000 |
£25,001 + | £9,000 | £9,000 |
Students from Scotland will be able to access a loan for the full amount of their tuition charge from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland. You do not need to pay this cost upfront.

Students should be financially assessed in their funding application to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland; the University uses the household income figure which is calculated in this assessment to allocate its own funding.
Students from Scotland will also be entitled to support for living costs from the Scottish Parliament. All students will be able to access a basic maintenance loan of at least £4,500, with additional support (an increased level of maintenance loan, and a non-repayable Young Students' Bursary) being based on household income:
Household Income | Maintenance loan | Young Students' Bursary |
£0 - £16,999 | £5,500 | £1,750 |
£17,000 - £23,999 | £5,500 | £1,000 |
£24,000 - £33,999 | £5,500 | £500 |
£34,000 + | £4,500 | £0 |
In order to access more than the basic level of maintenance loan, students should be financially assessed in their funding application to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland; the University uses the household income figure which is calculated in this assessment to allocate its own funding.
