Non Matriculated Students

Non-matriculated students may be admitted to lecture classes in courses at level 7 or 8 only at the discretion of the Head of the School concerned.  They will be required to pay the appropriate single Class Fee(s).

Such attendance does not qualify for graduation; or entitle a student to attend tutorials, laboratory practical sessions or similar; or entitle a student to a class certificate or to submit or have marked any assessments; or confer any University privilege.  This category is designed in the main to permit persons normally resident in or near Edinburgh to attend lecture classes without the expectation of gaining any University qualification.  It is not intended for anyone who is studying for a qualification of another institution whether in this country or abroad.
