UK nationals living in Europe: your fee status
If you or your immediate family are from the UK but live in Europe, you may be entitled to a 'home' fee status.
Work out your fee status
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 that the status given here is not guaranteed. We consider every application individually, based on the answers you give in your fee status questionnaire after you apply for your degree programme.
