More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £22800 annually, to study in University of Aberdeen.

Many career possibilities are open to graduate Marine Biologists.

Recent graduates have also been taken on as interns with non-governmental organisations.
