Undergraduate fee policy

Tuition fee policy for undergraduate degree programmes explaining fee rates and changes to fees if you interrupt your studies or withdraw.

Our policy explains what your annual tuition fees cover, when you have to pay, your responsibilities, and undergraduate tuition fee yearly increases.

Taking an authorised interruption of studies may have implications for the tuition fees you are charged. If you need to take an authorised interruption of study, the fees you will need to pay will be determined by the source of funding for your tuition fees.

If you withdraw from the University of Edinburgh, the tuition fee you need to pay will depend on your date of withdrawal and may also be affected by your source of funding for your tuition fees. You, or your sponsor, may have to pay all or part of your tuition fee or tuition fee loan, depending on when you withdraw from the University.

If you need to repeat any study, what you are charged depends on if you are repeating a full year, courses or exams, and on your sponsor for your tuition fees.

Reassessment fees for undergraduates who need to resit exams or resubmit coursework.

Our policy when the University is unable to offer a suitable replacement programme following the discontinuation of a programme, and what happens if a student changes to a new programme of study at the University.
