Visit the Universities UK website for more information on tuition fees, participation in the Erasmus+ programme, and details about applying for settled status or pre-settled status (should you wish)

If you want to find out if you’re still eligible for loans and grants, or are planning to visit home during the holidays and are concerned about how BREXIT might affect your travel back to the UK please check out these FAQs

Health insurance and EHIC for UK and EU students

UK students abroad

The government has also put forward a proposition to maintain existing healthcare arrangements (EHIC coverage) even in a no-deal scenario. This will apply to UK students abroad until December 2020. 

However, in the event of a no-deal, EHIC (European Health Insurance Cards) may no longer be valid for UK students travelling within the EU, which will mean that you’ll need to get health insurance when travelling abroad.

For advice refer to the NHS website as well as the FCO travel page for the most up-to-date information.
