EU
The Scottish Government has confirmed that , as a result of Brexit , postgraduate students from the EU no longer have access to tuition fee loans . ‘ Home fee ’ status for EU students has now come to an end and they are now classified as international students for the purposes of tuition fees .
As part of our management of the Brexit transition , for many of our courses we have introduced an EU transitional scholarship for EU full-time students commencing their studies on campus in 2022 / 23 . This provides a 40 % discount on international tuition fees . See our fees pages for details .
