Tuition Fees Support

Full Time Undergraduate Students

EU students can easily apply for support towards their tuition fees through the Department of Education & Skills. The level of support received depends on your own income and, where appropriate, your parents’ or spouse’s income. It is very important that you apply for support as soon as you have confirmation of a place and do not wait until you are about to start your course. If you are beginning an undergraduate course you will be sent an application form.

Part Time Undergraduate Students

EU students can also apply for a £575 grant towards their tuition fees. You should apply to the EU Team at the Department of Education & Skills. The application form (EU4PT) is available on the DfES website.

Postgraduate Students

There is no available financial assistance for students from the European Union studying on part or full time postgraduate courses.

EU students are also not eligible to receive NHS bursaries.
