Entry Requirements

• Generally we expect a UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent.
• If you do not meet the minimum academic requirement, you may still be considered if you have relevant work experience

Full details on entry requirements and acceptable relevant work experience are provided through the application portal: Entry Requirements

If you are unsure whether you meet any criteria please send your CV to bayes-training@ed.ac.uk. Please also look at the answers to common questions from applicants on the process, along with detail on eligibility for fee waivers.

Fees and Funding

The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) Upskilling Fund provides a fixed number of fee waivers for participants who meet at least one of several select criteria. You may be eligible for funding if you meet at least one of the following:

• you have been living in Scotland for the last three years for reasons other than education.
• you are an EU citizen living in the EU.
• you live in the rest of the UK but work for a Scottish employer (an employer which is based in or has a significant presence in Scotland).
• RAs, and other academic staff at a Scottish or EU university (not including the rest of the UK).

You will not qualify for fee waivers if any of the following applies:

• you live in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland without ties to a Scottish employer.
• you live anywhere in the world (outside Scotland and EU) without ties to a Scottish employer.
• you have been living in Scotland for less than 3 years for work purposes.
• you are a full-time student (including full-time PhD students) currently enrolled in a Scottish university.

If you do not qualify for the SFC funding you may still qualify for funding under the new National Transition Training Fund.

The course fee is £960. While those who obtain fee waivers will be prioritised in allocating places, we do have availability for fee-paying participants, both within and outwith Scotland.
