I have heard about having to pay tuition fees. What are they?
Tuition fees are charged by the universities and colleges to cover the cost of your studies. The fees vary depending on the type of course you will be taking and which university or college you will be attending. You can find more information on our student finance page.
In you live in Scotland and will be attending a Scottish university or college, you may not have to pay tuition fees. For information about financial support, go to www.saas.gov.uk.
