What residency requirements do I need to fulfill to be eligible for NHS and government funding?
Generally speaking, to be eligible for funding, students need the following: – To be resident in the UK on the first day of the first year of the course – To have been resident in the UK for three years prior to that day – To have ‘settled status’ i.e. no restrictions on the amount of time they can stay in the UK However, the rules around residency are complicated and there are many exceptions to the above.
