EU Students & UWS
Important information for potential UWS students from the EU regarding guranteed tuition fee funding, immigration status and Erasmus+ exchange funding as the deadline for the UK to leave the EU looms.
Following the UK’s exit from the EU on 31 January 2020, the majority of EU students are no longer able to receive student finance after January 2021 for studies; international tuition fees status applies. Some provision exists for Irish, Gibraltarian and UK students living in the EU.
