We use guidance from the Scottish Government, which shows which fee status you are likely to be assigned based on your circumstances.
Select the section that most closely reflects your circumstances to find out what your fee status is likely to be.
Please note the status given here is not guaranteed. We consider each application individually, based on the answers you give in your fee status questionnaire after you apply for your degree programme.

Your fee status will depend on your circumstances, including how long you have lived overseas and whether this is your main home.
Whilst there is no definition of temporary employment within the Regulations, each University has to consider every individual case on its merits. Multiple short-term contracts or non-rolling contracts of at least 3 years are a few examples of employment that we would not deem as evidence of temporary employment.
We consider each applicant's individual circumstances and make an assessment based on a wide range of information such as nationality and right of residence in the UK/EEA, employment history of family member, length of time resident in the UK/EEA and overseas, visits to the UK/EEA, if a property is maintained in the UK/EEA for the family's own use, and any other relevant information.
Please contact us so we can send you the information most relevant to you.
