Scholarships and bursaries for GCU students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland undertaking an honours degree in 3 or 4 years.

The annual fee for Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be £7,000 from 2012-13, with a maximum fee level of £21,000 for an honours degree in three or four years. Students with suitable A levels are encouraged to enter in year two, and the University will fully discount a year’s tuition for those students who study a four year programme.
The need to change the fee level paid by students from the rest of the UK to study in Scotland has been prompted by changes to University funding brought forward by the UK Government. Universities in England are set to charge annual tuition fees of up to £9,000 a year from 2012-13. GCU have recognised the prevailing economic challenges students face while reflecting the value and high quality of our degree programmes. 
Students with suitable A levels are encouraged to enter in year two and the University will fully discount a year’s tuition for those students who study a four year programme.
Exceptions:
For 2012/13, special arrangements have been made for programmes that fall under the category of Allied Health Professions.  Details can be found here.  The Scottish Funding Council will fund the fee for Students undertaking a Nursing programme.  Students entering either a Nursing or Allied Health Profession programme of study in 2012/13 will therefore not be eligible to apply for any of the scholarships detailed below.
