Are there application fees for UK universities and can I apply only to those without application fees?
13 May 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
Some universities do charge application fees, while many, especially in the UK, offer free applications or fee waivers. Application fees can range from £20 to £100 depending on the university and program. You can choose to apply only to universities without application fees. A balanced approach, however, is focusing on the right fit rather than just avoiding fees.
