EU entrants fee status

Following clarification from the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) around ordinary residence requirements, EU applicants starting their studies from the 2022-2023 academic year will have their fee status assessed in one of the following categories:

EU nationals living in the EU without pre-settled or settled status in the UK – Overseas
EU nationals living in the EU with pre-settled or settled status in the UK – Overseas
EU nationals living in the UK with pre-settled or settled status in the UK – Home (Scotland)
EU nationals at boarding school in the UK with pre-settled or settled status in the UK – Home (Scotland)

In all instances, applicants must meet the residency conditions of three years in the UK/EU/EEA/Switzerland.

UK nationals who are living in the EU/EEA/Switzerland and meet the residency conditions will be considered as either 'Home' or 'Rest of the UK' for tuition fee purposes.

Full details, including the definition of ordinary residence, can be found in the SAAS guidance document UK, EU, EEA and Swiss nationals residence conditions. This document also explains the student finance options for eligible students.

As a student at the University of St Andrews, you will be expected to pay fees every year that you are in attendance. The amount you will have to pay depends on your fee status and the degree you are studying for.

You may be eligible for tuition fee support within your home country. You must either pay your tuition fees online in advance or upon matriculation in September. Other payment options, including an instalment plan, are described in detail on the how to pay your fees web page.

If you are studying in the Faculty of Arts, Divinity or Science, tuition fees for 2022-2023 will be £26,350. Tuition fees will be fixed at this level for the duration of your programme.

If you are studying in the Faculty of Medicine, tuition fees for 2022-2023 will be £33,570. The Scottish Government has introduced a mandatory new national levy for overseas medical students for each year of study to cover the costs of NHS clinical teaching, which is reflected in the tuition fee. Fees may increase annually during the course of your study by up to 5% or up to the amount of the levy.
The University of St Andrews is committed to attracting the very best students regardless of their financial circumstances. We offer a large number of bursaries and scholarships to undergraduate students, and there are also a number of external grants offered from outside the University.
