Free tuition for EU students in Scottish universities

Scotland’s Education Secretary John Swinney has announced that students from the European Union enrolling in Scotland next year will have free tuition throughout their courses, writes Andrew Denholm for The Herald.

Swinney said the confirmation would give EU nationals “reassurance” amid the failure of the United Kingdom government to confirm rights would continue after Brexit. The free tuition guarantee is already in place for eligible EU students enrolling this year and has now been extended for those enrolling in 2018-19.

On a visit to the University of Dundee, Swinney said: “I am proud Scotland is a destination of choice for EU students and I am delighted to give them further reassurance by confirming that support for tuition-free studies will continue for those commencing courses here in the 2018-19 academic year.”
