Will I pay ‘Home’ or ‘Overseas’ fees?

Only certain categories of students will be charged the 'home' fee. In very general terms, these are:

• persons who have permanent residence in the UK and have been resident in the UK for three years;
• EEA and Swiss migrant workers and their spouses and children in the UK who have been resident in the EEA or Switzerland for three years;
• EU nationals and their children who have been resident in the EEA or Switzerland for three years;
• refugees (recognised by the UK government) and their spouses and children; and
• persons who applied for asylum and as a result have been granted Exceptional Leave, Humanitarian Protection or Discretionary Leave, and their families.

If you have been living in the UK for the purpose of education, (e.g. boarding school), and your normal residence is abroad, you are unlikely to qualify as a home student. There are specific rules regarding refugees, asylum seekers and members of the Armed Forces.

Please note that we are not able to authorise the US Federal and Private loan programmes. Applicants will need to be entirely self -funded.
