IS THERE A COST? DO YOU HAVE TO PAY?
Most students who normally live in Scotland and study in Scotland do not have to pay fees for full-time courses. However, it is a requirement that you must apply to the relevant body to have your course fees waived or funded, otherwise you will have to pay the fees yourself. Please note self-financing students must pay 25% of the fee at point of enrolment.
If you are studying at a Full-Time Non Advanced level, which is generally Levels 1 to 6 on The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) and you meet the residency criteria below, the course fees are waived upon application to WCS Student Funding:
- People who were born in Scotland and have lived here all their lives
- People from England, Northern Ireland and Wales
- EU students with settled/pre settled status
- People with some types of leave to remain
If you are studying at a Full-Time Advanced level, generally Level 7 to 10 on The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), you must apply to the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) to fund your course fees.
Full-Time Fees for 2024/25 are:
Non Advanced (NC) - £1,008
Advanced (HNC/D) - £1,285
