Re: How much are the tuition fees in Scotland for people who are not ScottishYear 12(Original post by seanfromtheblock)
scottish uni courses are designed so that you go to them with highers (roughly AS) and not advanced highers (roughly A level), so you go after 5th year (year 11 I think)
People do leave after S5, but it's definitely not the norm since a lot of people want to re-sit a Higher or pick up more.almost nobody actually does that though, and just go after staying on for 6th year at high school, normally with a couple of advanced highers. -

Re: How much are the tuition fees in Scotland for people who are not ScottishSo this is only the case with some subjects not all(Original post by ZombieCharge)
Not if you've done three A-levels or three Advanced Highers. Also, check it's available for your course first. -

Re: Tuition fees at Scottish Universities for UK (non Scottish) students from 2012Postgrad isn't involved in any of this, so in other words - hasn't changed. Your dual nationality is irrelevant, where you've lived for the past three years is though but for postgrad you'll probably pay the same regardless whether you live in Northern or Southern Ireland anyway. Phone/Email uni for confirmation but maybe someone else on here might be more certain about this.(Original post by brownrob)
Does anyone know how this affects postgrad? I am dual national irish/Northern irish and am thinking of a PhD or Masters in Edinburgh -

Re: Tuition fees at Scottish Universities for UK (non Scottish) students from 2012you're pretty much spot on. Fees are the same for home or EU students, so doesn't matter whether brownrob lived in Ireland or Northern Ireland. Fees for postgrad courses are likely to increase though, every uni can set postgrad fees however much they like.(Original post by ZombieCharge)

When it comes to applying for a funded PhD, where he lived may however become important as some (PhD) funding is only available to UK residents, e.g. EU students get the tuition fee but the full stipend is only available for home students. -

Re: Tuition fees at Scottish Universities for UK (non Scottish) students from 2012What are you talking about? I hardly understand a word you're saying, also which new fees are you referring to in this context?(Original post by Nicck)
Well i was wondering are home-eu applicant with the new fees going to be less competitive because they pay less money than Ruk ones to the uni?
