Tuition fees
Information about fees, including current rates.
Undergraduates should also refer to other guidance on the Money Matters web page.
Your fees status will determine the level of tuition fees you will have to pay.
Tuition fees can be paid online.
Each student admitted to the University is liable for their tuition fees and is responsible for ensuring that they are paid. Arrangements must be confirmed at the start of each academic session. Students who are in receipt of tuition fee support from any external agency, outwith the UK, will be expected to show each year at Matriculation written evidence of the level of support they will receive. Full details can be found at How are you paying?.
If you are a returning student and are eligible for any kind of external support, do not wait for the results of your examinations before applying for renewal of funding. New students eligible for funding should apply as soon as they receive an offer of a place. No one should assume that this will happen automatically.
Students funding themselves fully or in part must make payment arrangements during registration. If you believe you are being funded by anyone other than yourself (i.e. an awards body, research council, scholarship, charity, University department), you should ensure that you have written evidence that you have applied for funding in advance of each year of study, that the amount of funding is clearly agreed, and that the way in which the University will receive the money is clearly understood. If the University is not able to establish whom to invoice for your fees, they may be transferred to your account with the University and you will be liable for payment in full. Students will not be able to complete the full matriculation process until they have either provided written evidence of the support they will receive or made appropriate payment arrangements.
The Money matters and Rules and regulations pages provide general guidance on the structure of public tuition fee support in the UK and useful contact addresses. Also provided are guidance notes for students who wish to withdraw after the start of the session and how it might affect their fee liability; and information for students regarding the Senate Regulations concerning debt to the University.
Graduating in person or in absentia marks the end of your degree or diploma course of studies at the University of St Andrews. If you have been accepted onto a new degree or diploma programme at the University, the new programme is separate and distinct from the course of studies from which you are about to graduate, and you will be liable for all fees associated with that new programme.
