Information for students

The deadline for applying for settled status was 30 June 2021 - find out whether this affects you.

Our priority is to ensure we are doing all that we can to support you if you're directly affected by the UK leaving the European Union. We’ve drawn together this information to help you understand the current status of events and signpost you to further information and support.

Apply to the EU Settlement Scheme

If you’re an EU citizen living in the UK, you needed to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme so that you can continue to live and/or work in the UK after 30 June 2021. It’s a fast-track registration process being introduced for EU citizens who want to stay in the UK after Brexit. 

To qualify, you must have been in the UK on or before 31 December 2020 and must not have been absent from the UK for more than 6 months in a 12 month period. If you are concerned about your absences from the UK, please get in touch with International Student Support.

Tuition fees for EU nationals

We understand that future changes to tuition fees are a major concern. Our policy is to ensure all our students have complete fee certainty for their entire courses. In 2019, we confirmed that if you're a current EU student or an EU national who began their studies in the 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 academic years, or will begin in 2020/21, you will pay UK fees for the duration of your studies, even if the course concludes after the UK's exit from the EU. This covers undergraduate and postgraduate taught and research courses.

Tuition fees for EU applicants

From the academic year 2021/22 if you're an applicant from an EU country you'll pay the international fee rate if you join us from the 2021/22 academic year. If you're an EU citizen living in the UK with settled or pre-settled status, or an Irish national living in the UK or Ireland, you'll be eligible for UK (home) fee rate as long as the usual residency requirements are met.
