This entirely depends on where he is from - Scottish students and EU applicants pay £1.820 (or nothing at all, if the Scottish government pays their fees), English students at Scottish universities pay the same fees (£9.000) as they would pay at home.

But overall Dundee is considered one of the cheapest student cities in the UK and the average cost of living is at least 10% under the national average.


Cheers for clearing that up :smile: Should've thought a little more there.

I'm from Croatia and I'm about to pay 9700 GBP for the first year and I hope that I will be considered as EU student in the second year.

Sadly I don't know much of Leeds or Manchester (all my choices were in Scotland).
I compared it to the different universities that I was looking into, on here . Surely this is not enough, but it was a starter. Then I spitballed around with my mate, trying to see the pros and cons of going to the different ones. Seeing as I know a few people who also live in Dundee, it weighed in a bit more. They had also told me that the UoD has a good reputation and I trust them.

If you're worried cost-wise, I think the UoD will be the cheaper one as well. Was around £1860 or so, least for my programme. Looked into Leeds and it seems more expensive. That is, if price is a big deal for you. (I might've seen wrong on the Leeds price, but I'm guessing you know it better than me)


The city itself is nice as well I hear, least the west end(where the University is). It's also the sunniest city in Scotland :wink:

I'd say that if all three are respected unis, the outcome will pretty much be the same. So choosing whichever is the most comfortable is important.



Thanks a lot.

UoD ranks pretty well in comparison with those 3 I mentioned.
It has the lowest average entry tariff among my choices,this is one of reasons why I was a bit skeptical.
(and their conditional offer is quite undemanding)
English uni's cost around 12000GBP for overseas students


I believe I will take UoD as insurance and University of Warwick as my firm choice.
I still hope I will succeed to get in there because they rank very high.




BTW,does somebody know if EU students are eligible to apply for a student loan in England?

Rankings > entry tariffs. If they are good in a subject they will have many applicants and if the tariffs are lower than those of other universities they will certainly be more focused on other parts of the application.

And EU students don't qualify for UK government loans and grants (except for the fact that they don't have to pay the fees upfront but start to pay it back whenever they earn a certain amount of money.

Well,I didn't mean that I will get a loan for my living costs etc.
If I start paying my tuition fees after I start working isn't it a kind of a loan?
Isn't that what English students get?
A loan for financing their tuition cost which they start to pay back once they earn more than 21000gbp a year?

That's what UK students get, but they also get loans and grants to cover the cost for accommodation, food etc., based on the income of their parents. It's the same where I am from (Germany), students whose parents cannot afford (or struggle) to send their children to university get money from the government to cover their living costs - up to 670€ per month.

So if I'm considered as EU student I can get a loan to cover tuition fees?
That's great.
I never expected anything more than that

I am not 100% sure but I strongly believe that's the case. I just googled it and found this Scottish government website which actually states that "Eligible EU students are not required to pay tuition fees whilst studying in Scotland. They are not however eligible to apply for maintenance support." The question is, what is an "eligible" student?

The University of Edinburgh's website says:

You may be eligible for your tuition fees to be covered by the Scottish Government, if you are:

- an EU national from a non-UK EU country
- studying for your first undergraduate degree
- studying full-time


So if you're considered a EU student from your second year on and money is an issue you could really think about coming to Dundee, as this will cost you either 1.820 a year on tuition fees or even nothing instead of 9.000 in England.
Thanks.

I will contact them for more details.
