Tuition fees for rest of UK students 2012/13
The University of the Highlands and Islands has set its 2012/13 tuition fees for full-time students from the rest of the UK. Students will pay a maximum of £22,500 for their four year honours degree - £7,500 per year for three years, with their fourth year free – equivalent to £5,625 per year.
The fees will be complemented by a range of bursaries and scholarships which will be available to eligible students and will be announced in due course.
James Fraser, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, said: “As Scotland’s newest university, we must ensure our mission to serve the communities of the Highlands and Islands is paramount and that places for local students are protected. Our number of students from the rest of UK is currently small. Nevertheless, we are a young university with aspirations to expand our student population, with high quality courses which will attract more students from outwith our boundaries in future.
“As a result, we have set our rest of UK student fee for a four year honours degree at £7,500 per year with the fourth year of study free. That amounts to £5,625 per year.”
This variation in fees for students from the rest of the UK has been agreed in response to changes in university funding introduced by the UK government for 2012/13 and aims to protect university places for Scottish students.
