Prospective students from outside of Scotland in the UK
Students from Scotland are eligible to apply for SAAS and other Scottish funding. If you are studying here from the rest of the UK, please follow the link to your student funding.
EU National
Since the UK left the European Union, you need to be granted pre-settled or settled status in the UK to be classed as a home (Scottish) student. Otherwise, you will be classified as an international student, pay the International fee rate and have a visa for study. (See International below)
When you apply online, you will be asked for your sharecode if you have one. This is the 9-character code that allows college staff to retrieve your settlement status from the UKVI website. If you do not have a sharecode, for example, because you already had a settled status or indefinite leave to remain, before the UK left the EU, you are requested to send this evidence to admissions.
Visa national – International Student
Students from outside the UK without settled or pre-settled status are considered international students.
Those already in the UK on a visa that permits study can enrol part-time and will pay the international fee rate.
To study full-time, a valid student visa is required, and the full-time international fee of £5,250 applies.
International Students
If you are from outside the UK and do not have settled or pre-settled status, you are considered an international student.
If you are already in the UK on a visa that is valid for study, you may be able to study part-time and will be charged the international fee rate.
Please note: Dumfries and Galloway College is no longer a Student Visa sponsor and cannot issue CAS for full-time study.
