A home student is defined as a student who meets certain residency conditions (the same conditions apply to eligibility for UK Government student financial support).  Usually this means you have an unrestricted right to enter and remain in the UK and you have been ordinarily resident in the UK for three years prior to the start of your course.  None of this time must have been spent in the UK wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education. Visit the Directgov website for further information.

You are an EU national, or the relevant family member of a non-UK EU national, who is in the UK as a self-sufficient person or as a student, or the relevant family member of a UK national.  

You must have been ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area and/or Switzerland and/or the overseas territories for the three years before the first day of the first academic year of the course.

You must not have been resident wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education.


International student

If you do not fall under the home UK or home EU fee definitions, then you will be classed as an international student.


Undergraduate

If you are taking an undergraduate course, you will pay the undergraduate fee as outlined in the undergraduate courses list.
