Will I have to pay 'home' or 'overseas' student fees?

You will qualify for home fees if you are an EU national or your parent is an EU national and:

You have been ordinarily resident anywhere in the EEA (ignoring short absences such as holidays) for the three years immediately preceding the 1st September, 1st January or 1st April closest to the beginning of your course; and
Throughout the relevant three year period the main purpose of your residence in the EEA was not to receive full time education. You will not be automatically excluded if you were in full time education, as long as it was not the main reason for residence.
The regulations regarding eligibility for 'home' fees and Student Support are complex. If you think you may qualify or need further advice, contact the advice or welfare service at your institution or students union, or telephone the UKCISA student advice line (see useful contacts)

The information above is produced in full by UKCISA. You can download their guidance note EEA Students at www.ukcosa.org.uk/pages/guidenote.htm
