Brexit advice for EU applicants

Student visas

Before arriving in the UK, you’ll need to apply for a Student (previously Tier 4) visa and pay an Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) which is currently £470 per year.

If you’re an EU applicant already living in the UK, you’ll need to have applied for settled or pre-settled status by 30 June 2021.

Tuition fees

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.

If you're an applicant who has deferred entry from this academic year (2020/21) to next academic year (2021/22) you'll still only have to pay the home fees rate.

We'll review our fee status assessments alongside UK Government and industry body advice once guidance has been published.
