The fee does not include the cost of text books for core and options courses so you should budget an additional amount for this required expenditure.
The fee for entry in 2012 is £18,600.
(Part-time students will be charged 50% of the applicable programme fee each year.)
Deposit requirements and payment information
Applicants receiving an offer of admission, either conditional or unconditional, will be asked to pay a deposit of £1,500 within 28 days of the offer to secure their place on the programme.
If the deposit has not been received by the deadline, the application will be withdrawn without further notice. It is therefore essential that applicants have funding for their deposit in place before applying.
The deposit will be offset against the tuition fee payable at the time of matriculation.
Once the deposit has been received, a receipt will be issued by the Business School confirming the amount paid. Please note that transactions have to be confirmed by the University accounting system and this can take a few weeks to process, depending on the method of payment. Please keep the receipt safely, and bring it along with you at the time of matriculation.
Cost of living
Costs beyond the programme fee can vary greatly depending on your accommodation and lifestyle choices. You should research this aspect in some detail to ensure you have sufficient resources in place during your time of study.
Here are some examples of approximate costs of what you might be expected to spend when studying at Edinburgh:
- A single postgraduate student should allow, for a twelve month period, approximately £10,000.
- A visiting student here for the autumn semester should allow approximately £3,500 for a university self-catering flat.
- A married postgraduate student with a family (2 adults and 2 children – no childcare) living in accommodation in the private sector should allow a minimum of £14,000 for a twelve-month period.
