How to study in Edinburgh
As with all UK university and college applications, you would need to apply through UCAS in order to study at undergraduate level in Edinburgh. For an application to an Edinburgh institution through UCAS you would need a personal statement and a reference for your application.
Postgraduate applications for Scottish universities are usually arranged directly through a university. Always check the exact process and requirements for the university you are interested in studying at.
When your place is secured at an Edinburgh university, you’ll need to apply for your UK student visa.
Cost to study in Edinburgh
At undergraduate level, it’s free for EU students to study at Edinburgh universities. International tuition fees for those outside of the EU can be slightly cheaper than in England, ranging between £8,000-£30,000 a year; this depends on the type of subject and institution you are studying at.
At postgraduate level EU and international students need to pay the tuition fees set by the institution.
Living costs in Edinburgh aren’t as high as other places in the UK such as London — this is especially true for accommodation.
