Edinburgh International Students University Fees

You can find out the exact fees for international students by looking at a university’s website..

Institutions can charge a higher fee to those they consider to be 'overseas' students. This may be a UK national who has been living abroad for a number of years or a national from outside the UK or the rest of the EU who now lives in the UK. They do not base the conditions on nationality only, but on the place of ordinary residence on the first day of the first academic year of the course.

Fees also vary depending on whether you live in an EU (European Union) or a non-EU country.

The British Council website provides further information.
