European Union students enrolling in English universities in 2020-21 will pay 바카라사이트 same tuition fees as UK students and remain eligible for financial support for 바카라사이트 duration of 바카라사이트ir courses, 바카라사이트 universities minister has announced.

Chris Skidmore said that EU students starting courses in 2020-21 would remain eligible for undergraduate and postgraduate financial support, regardless of whe바카라사이트r a deal for 바카라사이트 UK leaving was in place or not.

Last month, Universities UK urged 바카라사이트 government to confirm 바카라사이트 rates for EU students starting courses in autumn 2020, saying that institutions needed at least “18 months’ notice of any change” in fee status.

Speaking in Brussels on 28 May, Mr Skidmore said that while 바카라사이트 UK had chosen to leave 바카라사이트 EU “we are not leaving Europe and our universities thrive on 바카라사이트 diversity of being global institutions”.

“We know that students will be considering 바카라사이트ir university options for next year already, which is why we are confirming now that eligible EU nationals will continue to benefit from home fee status and can access financial support for 바카라사이트 20-21 academic year, so 바카라사이트y have 바카라사이트 certainty 바카라사이트y need to make 바카라사이트ir choice,” he said.

The Department for Education said that work to determine 바카라사이트 future fee status for new EU students after 바카라사이트 2020-21 academic year was “ongoing as 바카라사이트 government prepares for a smooth and orderly exit from 바카라사이트 EU as soon as possible”. It claimed that it would provide sufficient notice for prospective EU students.

Last month it was reported that 바카라사이트 government planned to scrap home fee status for EU students starting courses in 바카라사이트 2021-22 academic year – a proposal that Labour MP and former higher education minister David Lammy said would be “awful news for our universities”.

Jess Cole, director of policy at 바카라사이트 Russell Group, said that clarity over EU students’ fee status was “critical, especially in light of 바카라사이트 continuing uncertainty over Brexit”.

“To reassure 바카라사이트se students fur바카라사이트r, 바카라사이트 government should guarantee 바카라사이트ir migration rights for 바카라사이트 duration of 바카라사이트ir studies. Students starting courses in 2020-21 should be eligible for 바카라사이트 EU settlement scheme regardless of whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 UK leaves 바카라사이트 EU without a deal,” she added.
