English university tuition fees are charged at different rates that depend on a number of factors, which are determined by Government guidelines.
There is usually one rate for UK and EU students, and a higher rate for international students.
The tuition fees that you will pay depend on you fulfilling certain criteria. We assess everyone individually during the application process, and will let you know the amount you need to pay for your course.
Some international students pay the same tuition fees as UK and EU students
These are usually:
- people who have permanent residence in the UK and have been living here for three years
- EEA migrant workers and their families who have lived in the EEA for three years
- EU nationals and their spouses and children who have lived in the EEA for three years
- refugees (recognised by the UK Government) and their families
- people and their families who have applied for asylum and been granted exceptional or discretionary leave to enter or remain, or have been given humanitarian protection.
