Tuition fees
Each student admitted to the University is liable for his or her tuition fees and is responsible for ensuring that they are paid. Tuition fees can vary according to subject area. For example, the Faculty of Medicine charges a higher fee than the other Faculties.

Possible Additional Expenses
There are a number of expenses and charges which are not covered by annual tuition fees. As well as the cost of accommodation and individual subsistence you should make allowance for books and equipment, field trips, stationery, photocopying and computer disposables (for personal computers), laboratory fees, travel and laundry.

General Council and Graduation Fee or Completion Fee
Payment of this fee confers upon the student life membership of the General Council of the University, a body comprising all graduates of St Andrews and enjoying certain statutory rights and privileges. Students pay this one off fee at the point of matriculation. The General Council Fee for 2012 is £50.
Scholarships
The offer of a university place does not carry with it the guarantee of financial support. A guide to possible funding options, including both fees and maintenance, can be found in the scholarships pages.
