UK Tuition Fees post-Brexit:
Before August 2021, students coming to the UK from the EU, EEA or Switzerland paid the same tuition fees as domestic students, and they could apply for UK student loans to cover them. But since Brexit came into effect, these benefits no longer apply. Instead, EU/ EEA/Swiss students are classified as international students, and face higher fees.
More information on Tuition Fees and Student finance for home fee students can be found on UCAS. An excellent website to determine if you will qualify for home fee status is the UKCISA (UK Council for International Student Affairs).
If you have Home status then you can look into limited financial support through governmental resources:
University and the specific college/program
England or the more “student friendly” page of studentfinance
More information on Tuition Fees and Student Finance for International students can be found on UCAS.
International student loans:
There are a number of loans on offer for international students. For example, US students looking to study on a degree abroad can employ for a Foreign Enrolled Loan. Individual countries will have their own loan schemes for their international students, so research is essential.
There are a number of scholarship schemes on offer for UK university study. These fall into one of three categories:
University specific scholarships: individual universities will offer financial aid to international students for certain courses, for example: Imperial College London, Nottingham Trent, Oxford Brookes, UCL, Bristol, Dundee, Exeter, Sheffield, Stirling and Warwick .
Country-specific scholarships: International students from certain countries are eligible for select undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships.
Global scholarships: International student scholarships which are not tied to any particular origin country or university destination. These are often very competitive.
