What is my fee status?
Your tuition fee status is determined by your nationality and the country where you normally live.
- Key points
- There are different fees for students whose status is ‘home-Scotland/EU', those whose status is 'home-RUK' and those whose status is ‘overseas’.
- Whether you are classified as 'home' or 'overseas' is referred to as your ‘tuition fee status'.
- You should be sure that your tuition fee status is correct before accepting any offer from the University.
Your tuition fee status
Like other UK universities, there are different levels of fees for students whose status is:
- Home- Scotland/EU (Scotland and European Union countries)
- Home-RUK (England, Wales and Northern Ireland)
- Overseas (the rest of the world).
Your tuition fee status is determined by:
- your nationality
- the country where you normally live - where you are 'ordinarily resident'
The University will automatically determine your fee status based on information you supply about yourself during the application process.
If we can't determine your fee status automatically, we will ask you to supply more information.
We determine your tuition fee status in accordance with Scottish Government legislation, the Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Regulations 2011.
Where you live
The country where you normally live is where you are ‘ordinarily resident.'
