FEES STATUS

The tuition fee you’re charged will depend on whether you’re classified as a student from
‘Home/EU’, ‘Channel Islands and Isle of Man’ or ‘Overseas’. These classification rules are
strictly determined by the UK Government. In general:

• Home/EU: students settled and ordinarily resident in the UK, and EU nationals ordinarily
resident for the three years prior to the course start date in the European Economic Area,
Switzerland or the overseas territories.

• Channel Islands and Isle of Man: students from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man
(British Isles but outside the UK) are charged the Home/EU rate.

• Overseas: students from other countries (exceptions include students temporarily outside
the UK/EU, those with UK Government refugee status, and migrant workers).

Applicants with UK or other EU nationality should note that such nationality does not

guarantee they’ll be classed as a ‘Home/EU’ student – various residence requirements must

be satisfied. If your fee status classification is unclear, you’ll be sent a questionnaire to

complete so your status can be determined. FEES AND FINANCE 65
