EU student finance

Are you from Ireland, the EU, an European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland? If yes, you’ll need to check your tuition fee status and eligibility for student finance.

New rules around tuition fee status and eligibility for student finance began in August 2021. If you started your course before this date, the changes do not apply, and you should retain your previous eligibility for the duration of your course.
