Fees Scottish students studying full time for a first degree will usually be eligible to have their fees paid by the Scottish Government for the full period of study. Students must apply every year to the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) for payment of your tuition fees.

For other UK students, there is an annual fee of £9,250. Increases are subject to Government guidance.

The Scottish Government has confirmed it will meet the cost of tuition fees for eligible undergraduate EU students starting their degrees in 2020-21, for the duration of their degree programme.​​​​​​

Funding policy for EU nationals and associated groups starting a course of study in academic year 2021-2022 or later will be in line with international fees.

Irish national applicants starting studies in 2021-2022 will classed as home student status as a result of the Common Travel Area agreement and therefore will be exempt from international fees.

For international students, fees are typically £20,950 but cost up to £32,100 per year.

Bursaries/Scholarships A range of bursaries are offered. The University of Edinburgh Scholarship provides support to domiciled students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland whose household income is less than £42,600. Undergraduate students can receive between £520 and £8,500 a year.

Accommodation All new undergraduates, assuming they apply by a specified date and are from outside of the city of Edinburgh, are guaranteed an offer of university accommodation for their first year of study. Rent costs from £6,052 a year, depending on the type of accommodation. Utilities and an impressive facilities list are available included in the price, and you can choose between catered and self-catered halls.
