Tuition Fees - EU students

Following the UK’s departure from the EU, the UK Government announced on 23 June 2020 that EU, other EEA and Swiss nationals will no longer be eligible for home fee status nor undergraduate, postgraduate and advanced learner financial support from Student Finance England for courses starting in academic year 2021/22. This change will also apply to funding for apprenticeships.

This will not affect students starting courses in academic year 2020/21, the Government has confirmed you will be eligible for home fee status for the duration of your course. This means you will be charged the same tuition fees as UK students and will continue to be eligible for funding throughout your course. It will also not apply to Irish nationals living in the UK or Ireland whose right to study and to access benefits and services will be preserved on a reciprocal basis for UK and Irish nationals under the Common Travel Area arrangement.

Students outside the above exceptions will be liable for international course fees. 

At the University of Suffolk, we would like to support our EU applicants through this transition. From 2021, the University of Suffolk will offer a range of EU Scholarships providing alternative financial support in the absence of student loans. The amount of this scholarship will vary on the course you are applying for, but it is intended to bring your fee into line with the fee paid by UK students. Full eligibility criteria have not yet been finalised, but we expect the majority of our EU students will be eligible for our scholarship. This will apply for the duration of your course with the scholarship discount being applied each year to your tuition fee. Please see the table below outlining our fees for 2021/22 entry.

• Additional Placement fee of £3,170  for NHS courses
