EU/EEA Student Finance from 1st January 2021

If you’re starting a course on or after 1st January 2021, you must have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme to get student finance.

If you are an EU/EEA student with Settlement Status, you will need to pay UK fees.

Irish citizens do not need to apply for a visa or to the EU Settlement Scheme.

Settlement Status

The UK Government’s EU Settlement Scheme allows EU citizens to continue to study, work and live in the UK post-Brexit. Following the EU Referendum EU citizens; citizens of Norway, Lichtenstein, Iceland (non-EU EEA citizens) and Swiss citizens can apply for ScreenSpace courses if they have EU Settlement Status.

From 1st January 2021 any EU/EEA/Swiss citizen not eligible for the EU Settlement Scheme will require a student visa to enter the UK. As a student, this means to enter the UK on or after 1st January 2021, you must apply for a Student Visa.

Find out more about guidance for EU students here.

If you are an EU/EEA student and you do not have Settlement Status, you will pay International Fees.

Funding Options for International Students

MetFilm School is a private independent film school, which means that we do not follow the same fee structures as other higher education institutions in the UK. International students are normally able to find out if there is assistance for studying overseas from their home government.

Additional funding and financial advice are available here. You can also discover whether you are eligible for scholarship programmes within your home country through the British Council and Education UK websites.

Sweden

Swedish students have the right to apply for student finance if they wish to complete part of or the whole of their studies in another country. In order for student finance to be granted, the higher education institution overseas must be recognised by Centrala studiestödsnämnden or CSN (Swedish National Board of Student Aid).

The amount of the student loan may vary according to the study destination. However, the repayment terms are the same as for studying in Sweden. Additional finance is available for tuition fees, insurance and travel expenses.
