Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to help ensure that universities are offering home tuition fees to applicants who are UK nationals living in the EEA or Switzerland.

UK nationals and their family members living in the European Economic Area or Switzerland at the end of the transition period, who wish to study in England, will continue to be eligible for home fee status for courses starting before 1 January 2028.

This provision is set out in the Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations which higher education providers are required to follow when assessing a student’s eligibility for home fee status.
