Discount
There is a 10% discount offered to those International students paying their full tuition fee prior to or within one week of the published date of classes commencing at the start of the semester.
Although living in Ayr, Dumfries, Hamilton or Paisley is considerably less expensive than other major towns and cities in the UK, you must have a clear idea of the likely cost of living and studying in the UK.
Students are strongly advised that in order to prevent financial hardship, you should not travel to the UK or begin a course of study without making sure that you have enough money to cover all your academic fees and living expenses (and be able to support any family dependents who come with you to the UK). It is virtually impossible to make arrangements for financial support once you have left your own country.
