EU Students

New EU Undergraduates from August 2021

The UK Government has announced that it will cease providing support for EU nationals and their family members after the end of the EU transition period.

In line with this, the Welsh Government will cease providing equivalent support for EU nationals and their family members as for Welsh domiciled students. Students who begin a course of higher or further education on or after 1 August 2021 will NOT be eligible for support or, in the case of higher education courses, home fee status.

The Welsh Government intends to provide support for those who will benefit from citizens’ rights (‘Settled Status’) under the EU Withdrawal Agreement.

New EU students/applicants should refer to the International Education Centre website for details of international tuition fees and scholarship opportunities.

Continuing Students

Students who have already started or who start courses before 1 August 2021 will continue to be eligible for support and home fee status for the duration of their course.
