I know that students, staff and providers are concerned about what EU exit means for study and collaboration opportunities. To help give certainty, we have given guarantees on student finance for EU nationals who start a course in England in 2019/20 academic year or before.

The department will continue to work closely with the Student Loans Company to ensure that students, including EU nationals, and institutions have the information they need on access to student finance support in England in good time.
