UK citizens aren’t automatically given home student status. Home fees usually apply to EU nationals who have lived within the EU for the three years immediately prior to starting their course.

Overseas fees apply to all non-EU students, as well as UK and EU citizens who have not been resident in the EU for the past three years.

The fee status of a student as either “home” or “overseas” is set by the Government and may be found on the Office of Public Information website at www.opsi.gov.uk/stat.htm by searching on the key words 'Fees and Awards'.

The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) produce an excellent summarised version of these regulations in the form of information sheets. You can download a copy of these at:
