All current EU students should be reassured that their studies will not be affected by the EU referendum outcome. The UK exit negotiations are likely to take at least two years and possibly longer and until then all EU citizens are still entitled to:
> EU student status – you will not be subject to immigration controls and will not require a visa to study in the UK
> Home/EU tuition fee status – you will continue to pay the same fees you are paying at the moment
> Access to tuition fee loans – EU nationals or their family members, currently in higher education, and who are assessed as eligible to receive loans and/or grants from the SLC, will continue to receive these loans and grants until they finish their course. This includes loans to cover tuition fees (for those resident in the EEA for three years), loans and grants for maintenance (limited to those resident in the UK for at least three years), and some other grants and allowances.
> Access to EU grants – If your studies are funded by Erasmus+, or any other European programme, you will continue receiving your funding.
If you have queries or concerns about this information, please book an appointment with the International Experience Team.
