Course fees apply for all courses at Edinburgh College and vary depending on the type of course you are applying for.
All course fees are payable in advance unless you have applied for and have been granted funding by another source. Course fees are non-refundable except in exceptional circumstances. Funding options vary depending on the level of course you study, and whether you study full-time or part-time.
