Cost Of Living In Edinburgh
How much does it cost to study here? It
depends on your tuition fees, living costs and accommodation.
Managed properly, it’s very affordable; Scotland’s the cheapest
place to live in the UK. Surveys show that it costs around £5,000
per academic year (excluding tuition fees) to live in Edinburgh as
a university student, depending on how you live. Remember you could
benefit from grants, bursaries and loans. You can increase your
income by working part-time, too.
All students get free healthcare. Medicines,
dental treatment and eye tests are reduced for students.
