International Students
Advice for new International Students
Unlike Home UK Students, there is no mandatory funding available for International Undergraduate students. All International Students need to ensure that they have secured sufficient funding for their fees and living costs before starting their programme.
Students from countries outside the European Union (EU) who wish to undertake full-time study at the University are required to pay the “international’ fee for their programme of study.
For fund/ loans available for the International students please see Funds for Undergraduate International Students page.
For information on financial aid available to students from North America (via VMCAS), please see Financial (North America).
Fee Status
Your fee status is determined when you first apply for your course. Your fee status determines the level of tuition fees which you are required to pay, and may determine your eligibility for certain funding support. If you think your fee status is wrong, please contact
