What are the special provisions for nationals of the European Economic Area?
The European Economic Area (EEA) consists of the EU countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Sweden and the UK), plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. If you are an EU national or the child of an EU national who has been ordinarily resident in the EEA for the three years before the course, and not wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education, the educational institution will probably charge you the lower ‘home’ fee. If you are taking all of a course which is normally designated for mandatory award purposes, you might also be eligible for a fees-only award from the UK government, which would cover some or all of your tuition fees. You should apply not later than four months after the beginning of your course, depending on where you are studying, as follows: in England and Wales, the local education authority in the area in which your institution is situated
