Which UK universities don't charge application fees for international students?

I'm an international student looking to apply to universities in the UK and trying to save on application costs. Are there any universities that don't have application fees?

The majority of universities in the UK, unlike universities in the United States, do not charge application fees. Most applications for undergraduate study in the UK, including for international students, get processed through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).

UCAS standardizes the application process and charges a flat fee of £26.50 to apply to up to five universities. So, while individual universities don't charge application fees, there's this central system fee to consider.

If you apply to just one course (rather than up to five), the fee is slightly cheaper, at £22 – but it is well worth applying to more to maximize your chances of acceptance.

For postgraduate applications, application processes and fees can vary by school and can occasionally be free. It's best to check this information directly on the university's official website. Remember that the financial aspect is just one part of the process and it’s also important to take into account the academic reputation and facilities of the university. Good luck with your applications!
