EU Settlement Scheme

EU citizens and their family members currently living in the UK.

If you are already studying in the UK then you (and your family) should have already applied to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK. If you have not already done so, you can apply now if you meet the criteria. The deadline for applying is 30 June 2021.

The EU Settlement Scheme will allow EU nationals to continue living in the UK with the same access to work, study, benefits and public services as enjoyed currently.

Find out more about the EU Settlement Scheme and on the UK Council for International Student Affiars (UKCISA) - International student advice and guidance.

EU Course Fees

 

2022/2023 Academic Year

EU nationals who are 'settled' or 'pre-settled' in the UK will remain eligible to apply for home tuition fees in 2021/2022, providing they meet the residency conditions.

If you don’t have ‘settled’ or ‘pre-settled’ status, you will be charged the full international fee for all courses, including those delivered by open and flexible learning.
