Do I pay Home or International fees?
Home Students
Home students are those living in the UK or Republic of Ireland, and EU nationals with settled status in the UK.
In order to be classed as a home student you normally need to meet all of the following criteria on the first day of the first academic year of the course:
- You are settled in the UK (this means there is no immigration restriction or time limit on the length of your stay).
- You are ordinarily resident in the UK, and have been for the full three years before the first day of the academic year.
- The main reason for you being in the UK was not to receive full-time education.
International Students
If you do not fall under the home fee definition, then you will be classed as an international student. From 1 August 2021, new EU students will also pay international tuition fees if they don’t have a pre-settled status.
International fees:
- For all full-time Level 3 courses - £5400 per annum
- For all full-time Level 4 and above courses including HNDs, University Foundation Degrees and Degrees - £6500 per annum
- Part-time international fee varies from course to course due to variation in number of study hours. Please contact international office at international@serc.ac.uk for part-time international fee
Refugees and those who have applied for asylum
You may also be recognised as a home (UK) student if:
- You are a refugee (recognised by the UK government) or the spouse/civil partner or child of a refugee
- You have applied for asylum and, as a result, have been granted Exceptional Leave or Humanitarian Protection (or you are the spouse/civil partner or child of someone who has)
