University of Glasgow Postgraduate Fees: MSc and MBA

The ten programmes below last 12 months, so their published annual tuition also covers the full taught degree. Artificial intelligence is abbreviated to AI in programme titles.

• Every featured postgraduate programme requires a GBP 2,000 (INR 2.53 Lakhs) deposit, credited towards tuition.
• For the nine MSc courses, the final published international round closes 8 July 2027; the MBA deadline is 31 July 2027. Earlier scholarship deadlines can determine when you need an offer.
• Glasgow normally equates a UK upper second-class honours (2:1) requirement to an Indian bachelor's score of 55% to 63%, depending on the awarding university. Subject requirements still apply: Computing Science needs substantial computing study, whereas Software Development (Conversion) is intended for applicants with less than 50% computing credits.
• The MBA requires at least three years of professional experience, a curriculum vitae (CV) and personal statement, with shortlisted applicants interviewed. Its International English Language Testing System (IELTS) requirement is 6.5 overall with no component below 6.0; computing courses have additional writing/component combinations.

University of Glasgow Undergraduate Fees: Five Degree Options

The university's expected 2027/28 annual rates are GBP 28,275 (INR 35.80 Lakhs) for Arts and Social Sciences and GBP 33,708 (INR 42.67 Lakhs) for the science and engineering routes shown. These are non-clinical degrees; medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine have separate fees.

The Master of Arts (Social Sciences), MA(SocSci), is an undergraduate degree in Scotland. Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) are the other qualifications shown; Hons denotes honours.

• Apply through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the UK's centralised undergraduate application system. The equal-consideration deadline is 13 January 2027; Glasgow lists 30 June 2027 for international applicants to these courses. Common Law applicants should also take the Law National Aptitude Test (LNAT) by 25 January 2027 for the standard consideration timetable.
• For Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Indian School Certificate (ISC) applicants, Glasgow maps AAB to 75%, AAA to 80% and A*AA to 85%. State-board equivalences and required subjects differ. These are qualification equivalences, not guaranteed admission cutoffs.
• The five courses list IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each component, or an accepted alternative such as 80% in CBSE/ISC English.

University of Glasgow Fee Trend by Year

Glasgow's expected Arts and Social Sciences international undergraduate fee for new entrants rises by 2.00% from 2026/27 to 2027/28. Official schedules allow the following comparison of the same annual fee category.

This compares new-entry prices, not increases charged to an existing student. All INR comparisons use the same reference rate to isolate the tuition change.

Cost of Living in Glasgow for Indian Students

Glasgow's international-student guidance estimates GBP 1,100 (INR 1.39 Lakhs) to GBP 1,700 (INR 2.15 Lakhs) per month, depending on accommodation and lifestyle. This is a current published estimate without a stated academic year, not a confirmed 2027/28 price list.

For comparison, Glasgow’s published 2026–27 postgraduate accommodation rates list a single room at Lister House for GBP 8,568 (INR 10.85 Lakhs) and a Classic Ensuite at Havannah House for GBP 9,335.55 (INR 11.82 Lakhs), both for 51 weeks. Both rates include heating, utilities, Wi-Fi and possessions insurance. These figures are for reference only and are not confirmed prices for the September 2027 intake.

• Check the tenancy end date. Some Glasgow residences publish 39-week contracts, which do not cover a 12-month master's. An extension or different summer room adds a separate commitment.
• Compare private rent including bills and travel with a university contract. Do not add a full utilities allowance again when the hall already includes it.
• Accommodation offers require an advance rent payment. Apply for a room through the university process and wait for the allocation before treating a particular residence as secured.

Total Cost of Studying at the University of Glasgow

The first-year budget for the Computing Science MSc starts with GBP 34,815 (INR 44.08 Lakhs) in tuition, plus 12 months of living costs. The table uses a one-year Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) comparison, adding the Student visa fee of GBP 558 (INR 70,643) and GBP 776 (INR 98,242) for one year of IHS. These charges remain the same across all three scenarios, and the totals are calculated before scholarships.

• IHS is paid upfront for the full visa length. For permission lasting more than 12 and no more than 18 months, the charge is GBP 1,164 (INR 1.47 Lakhs). This adds GBP 388 (INR 49,121) to each table total; the midpoint becomes GBP 53,337 (INR 67.52 Lakhs). The online visa application determines the actual charge.
• The tuition deposit is already part of the tuition figure. An advance rent payment is likewise part of accommodation, not an extra year of rent.

University of Glasgow Scholarships for Indian Students

Indian students can explore undergraduate merit scholarships, eligible postgraduate tuition discounts and competitive funding. The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) also funds approved master’s programmes for eligible applicants. These five scholarship options cover different study routes, but the base budget assumes no scholarship or award, so any funding received can reduce the overall cost.

The GIC award pays towards the university degree after progression, not foundation tuition. The January Global Leadership option includes Civil Engineering & Management MSc; confirm both an eligible course offer and remaining intake availability. Commonwealth Shared is restricted to approved courses, so check the final 2027 list before relying on it.

Glasgow Tuition Deposit and Payment Options

The ten featured postgraduate programmes require a GBP 2,000 (INR 2.53 Lakhs) tuition deposit after offer acceptance, by the date in the offer email. It reduces the tuition balance and must be paid before Glasgow issues the required postgraduate Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), the document needed for the Student visa. Most undergraduate programmes do not require a tuition deposit.

1. Accept the offer, then pay any required deposit through Applicant Self-Service. Check the refund conditions first: current programme terms allow a full refund within 14 days; later refunds depend on specified grounds. An unsuccessful scholarship application or lack of funds does not itself qualify.
2. Meet the offer conditions and complete the university's requested steps for the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). Check that it records tuition already paid before preparing the visa application.
3. During MyCampus financial registration, choose payment in full or an eligible instalment plan. Glasgow offers up to eight tuition instalments: Direct Debits normally begin around 15 October, while manual instalments normally begin around 30 September. Your account sets the actual schedule.
4. Pay through Glasgow's Convera platform, by an accepted card through MyCampus, or by the available UK-account Direct Debit arrangement. Direct transfers to the university's bank account are no longer accepted; follow the payment instructions generated by the platform and retain receipts.

Glasgow Visa Charges and Other Costs Before Arrival

For a postgraduate applicant, a useful partial cash subtotal before arrival is GBP 3,922 (INR 4.97 Lakhs): tuition deposit, current visa fee, an illustrative 18-month IHS charge and the current university accommodation prepayment. It is not the full amount you must hold for the visa. Confirm accommodation prepayment terms when your 2027 offer is issued. Visa proof of funds is separate from your tuition and living budget. For applications made from 30 November 2026, students at Glasgow must show GBP 1,203 (INR 1.52 Lakhs) per month for up to nine months, totalling GBP 10,827 (INR 13.71 Lakhs), plus any unpaid tuition listed on the CAS. Before this date, the maximum living-cost requirement is GBP 10,539 (INR 13.34 Lakhs). Unless an accepted loan or sponsorship arrangement applies, the funds usually need to remain in the account for 28 consecutive days, with the evidence dated within 31 days of the visa application.

Other costs depend on your application and circumstances. The 2027 UCAS fee is GBP 34.50 (INR 4,368) for up to five undergraduate choices, while the Glasgow MBA has a separate, non-refundable GBP 25 (INR 3,165) application fee. Applicants who need TB screening must use a Home Office-approved clinic; for example, Fortis Hospital on Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, lists a fee of INR 3,700 for applicants aged 11 or above.
