Fees for students from European Union countries are being fixed at the same rate as fees for UK students for programmes beginning up through the 2018-2019 academic year. Additionally, the government has confirmed that EU students will continue to remain eligible for postgraduate financial support in the academic year 2018-2019.
The decision means EU students applying for a master’s course at an English university or further education institution in the 2018-2019 academic year will continue to have access to student loans and grants for the duration of their course, even if the course concludes after the UK’s exit from the EU. Find out more about this on the UK government's website.
