Fees and finance for international students
International students pay different fees from students from the UK. You’re usually an international student if you’ve not lived in the UK/EU for the last 3 years. Since September 2021, students from the EU have also paid international fees.
Fees status
Your tuition fee charge will depend on whether you’re classified as a student from ‘Home’ or ‘Overseas’. These classification rules are strictly determined by the UK Government.
UKCISA provides information on tuition fees to help you assess your fees status. This guide should give you a clear idea of whether you have a home or overseas student status.
