Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 11 March 2024 to Question 16899 on Overseas Students: Ukraine, whether Ukrainian students will be able to continue studying with home fee status if their leave to remain in the UK is transferred to international student status at the closure of the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme.

Changes have been made to the Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations 2007 from the 2024/25 academic year so that, where a person’s Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme leave expires during their course and they are granted further leave to remain under one of the standard immigration routes, they will continue to be eligible to access home fee status in order to complete their studies.
