Due to the UK leaving the European Union, changes have been made to the tuition fees that EU, EEA and Swiss nationals pay to study in the UK. This page contains information about the fee changes and our EU Scholarship.
If, after reading the information, you have further questions, please get in touch with us.
Following the UK's exit from the European Union, if you're an EU, EEA or Swiss national, starting a course at a UK University, you will no longer be eligible for the same fees as UK students. You'll pay the same fees as an international student.
At the 91ÈÕº«AV an EU Scholarship will be applied to your fees reducing them to the same amount as UK students. To be eligible for an EU Scholarship you need to be an EU, EEA or Swiss national and resident. This means the tuition fee will be £9,250 for Undergraduate courses (please see course pages for Master's and Postgraduate research course fees).
The scholarship will apply to new undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research students for the following intakes: September and January 2024/25 and September and January 2025/26.
You won't be eligible for undergraduate, postgraduate or advanced learner financial support or loans from Student Finance England. But you may be able to apply for other forms of financial support.
