Q
How much is the annual fee for EU students that attend full-time, sandwich and part-time courses?
A
EU students are considered 'home students' and pay the same amount as students from the UK. The annual fee for full-time and sandwich courses increased in the 2006/2007 academic year and the maximum for the academic year 2007/08, is GBP 3,070, although each institution defines its own fees. To obtain information regarding fees for part-time courses you should consult the web sites of the individual institutions.

Q
Are there grants for EU students?
A
There are no grant programmes. However, some institutions offer grants for EU students. You should find out about these grants on the web pages of the individual institutions and by consulting the 'Scholarships' page in Education UK.
Q
As an EU student, can I apply for funding for full-time and part-time courses?
A
EU students taking a full-time British degree in England, Northern Ireland and Wales from 2006/2007 onwards, can request a loan in the UK, which will only have to be paid off after completing the course and after earning more than GBP 15,000 a year. This loan is only for the payment of fees and does not include accommodation and living expenses.
EU students studying part-time in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, can ask for financial help that will not have to repay.
For more information regarding loans go to 'funding for European Union (EU) students' at 'Directgov'.
In relation to Scotland, EU students do not pay fees. However, on completion of their course they will have to make a contribution of around £ 2,000 to a student support fund. For more information go to the SAAS - Student Awards Agency for Scotland page
Q
Do I have to complete a form to request the student loan for EU students?
A
On the 'Directgov' page, at 'Forms and Guides for EU students' forms and the respective instructions are available and should be completed by the student, if they are attending higher education in the UK for the first time, or continuing their studies for a particular academic year. Those candidates applying through UCAS, will receive a student loan application form. If this does not happen, you can print the form and its respective instructions from the abovementioned web page.
Q
Are there grants for international students (non-EU)?
A
International students can obtain information on grants from the web pages of individual institutions and from the 'Scholarships' page in Education UK.
