Tuition Fees

When considering the costs involved in attending university, it’s always worth bearing in mind that a university education is an investment in your future - helping to increase your career prospects and earnings potential in the long-term. And the good news is there is lots of support available that makes university accessible to everyone.

Tuition fees for Scottish domiciled students

Scottish students do not have to pay tuition fees, but still have to apply each year through the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS).

Tuition fees for 'Rest of UK' students for 2013/14

As of 2012/13 individual Scottish universities have set their own fees for UK undergraduate students permanently living outside Scotland.

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.
