Information for Irish national students
Irish national applicants starting studies in 2021-22 will be classed as ‘home’ student status as a result of the Common Travel Area agreement. This means Irish national applicants will be exempt from international fees.
More detailed information is expected from the Scottish Government. In particular, the exact fee status of Irish nationals remains subject to agreement between the devolved nations of the UK.
