• Students can apply to their relevant funding body for a tuition fee loan. Tuition fee loans are not means-tested, are administered by the Student Loans Company, are paid direct to the institution and are repaid in the same way as the student loan. Specific arrangements in England, Wales and Northern Ireland differ slightly but the full tuition fee amount will be covered.
• A package of bursaries and scholarships for rest of UK students is available. Please check
www.dundee.ac.uk/ prospectus/bursaries
living costs: Students’ total support may consist of a maintenance grant, parental contribution and student loan depending on an individual student’s situation.
Whilst all three systems in the Rest of the UK are similar, the total amounts available might vary slightly.
repayment of student loans
From 2012 onwards student loan repayments begin in the April after the student graduates or leaves their course, as long as they are earning over £21,000 p.a. Interest on the loan is linked to inflation, so that in real terms students only pay back what they borrow.
Please note that these arrangements may change in the future.

students coming to dundee from other EU member states
tuition fees (for 2013/14): • £1,820 per year
EU students can apply to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) to have their full tuition fees paid direct to the institution. In general, EU students cannot apply for student loans and general living cost support from SAAS. There have been recent changes to the EU regulations which can be complex. If you are NOT coming straight to Scotland to study having been living only in your home country, you are advised to contact SAAS for further advice.
