Tuition Fees

Full-time students will be required to make arrangements for the full tuition fee at the start of their study. Please note students studying on a part-time intermittent basis are classed as “Invoiced at Course Level (ICL)” students for fee purposes. This refers to the fact that students registered for this mode of study pay for each course as they study.

If your fees are to be paid by an employer or external sponsor, the organisation must provide written confirmation of their financial support. http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/student-funding/tuition-fees/postgraduate/sponsorship This letter should be sent to The Fees and Student Support Team, Scholarships and Student Funding Services, Old College, South Bridge University of Edinburgh, Old College, South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH8 9YL (Tel: +44 (0)131 650 2230 Email: fees@ed.ac.uk). If you do not provide the letter of support you will be invoiced as a self-financing student.

If you are a self-funding student, invoices will be sent via e-mail to your University e-mail account. All students can view the current status of their own accounts via the ‘Finance’ channel when you log into MyEd (using your EASE password).
