Postgraduate Tuition Fees

EU students:

Following the UK’s departure from the European Union, if you start your course on or after the 1 August 2021, you will no longer be eligible for Home fees, unless the following applies.

If you are a citizen of an EU or EEA member state who have applied and been granted settled or pre-settled status (or the child, spouse, or civil partner of such a person), you may remain eligible for Home fees as part of the UK Government’s arrangements under the Withdrawal Agreement.

You can find more information from UKCISA about the categories eligible for home fees: Full information on HE fee status for students starting courses in England in Autumn 2021
