Fees Currently, Scottish and EU students on undergraduate full-time courses can apply to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) for fees to be fully covered. Full-time undergraduate students from the rest of the UK pay fees ranging from £5,000 to £9,000 per year depending on the course and mode of study.

The university offers a number of flexible delivery modes with fees varying from course to course for part-time, online and postgraduate study. Visit https://www.rgu.ac.uk/study/courses for more information.

International (non-EU) student fees also vary by course and can be found on individual course pages.

Bursaries Young students’ bursaries are available for Scottish students under 25 from low-income families through The Student Awards Agency for Scotland.

RGU offers a variety of scholarship opportunities. They include offering discount on courses to funding the first year of study and to covering the full cost of degrees and accommodation. Scholarships are made possible through RGU’s strong links with industry, where companies generously support the university’s students year after year; from the university’s funds; or from national and international scholarship schemes. A number of sports scholarships are also offered to promising sports men and women. Visit www.rgu.ac.uk/scholarships for more information. RGU is proud of its association with both Chevening and the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK, welcoming scholars every year to its campus.

RGU Access scholarships are made available as part of university’s strategic commitment to widening participation and support under-represented groups to access higher education no matter their background. Three Access scholarships are available to undergraduate students from low income backgrounds. These are the Enermech Scholarship in engineering; the Baillie Gifford Scholarship in art and design; and the Budge Foundation Scholarship in any undergraduate subject.
