Living Costs

Dundee offers students a lower cost of living than most other parts of the UK. Estimated total costs of living for a single student are as follows:

  • for an academic year (37 weeks), normally between £5,000 and £5,500
  • for a full year, normally between £6000 and £7000

Your own expenditure will depend on your lifestyle and the funds available to you. You will spend more than normal in your first week or two as you establish yourself, but your expenditure will soon settle down, allowing you to manage your weekly budget carefully.

In addition to your tuition fees you will need living expenses to cover the following:
