Tuition fees and costs

Online learning tuition fee rates: Digital Education (2024-25)

Annual tuition fees are listed on the Postgraduate Study Programme Fees pages related to your desired pathway, exit level and duration of study.

If you register to study on a 'part-time intermittent study' basis you will pay the academic tuition fees on a course-by-course basis, rather than paying for the entire programme at the outset.

University of Edinburgh tuition fees are subject to increase each year. From 2023-24, tuition fees for new entrants to this programme will be fixed for the duration of their studies. In most cases, if you joined us from August 2023 onwards and you are studying for a degree or qualification that will take more than one year to complete, the annual fee charged will be fixed at the level charged on the year of entry.

The cost for courses on this programme is the same for all students, whether based in the UK, the European Union, or elsewhere. 

For reference, the Masters programme is equivalent to 180 credits: ‘An Introduction to Digital Environments for Learning’ (40 credits), four 20-credit courses (including Research Methods), and the Dissertation (60 credits).

Scholarships and funding

Scholarship opportunities are subject to change each year. Therefore, students are encouraged to seek out funding opportunities from the University and external funding bodies.
