Students with EU nationality only

You will need to provide evidence to the University and SAAS of pre or settled status under the EU settlement scheme.  This will ensure that your level of tuition fee remains at your current rate and that SAAS consider your funding as a continuing student. 

Failure to do this will result in the international rate of tuition fee being charged for your new programme and will result in your funding being withdrawn by SAAS.

Further information regarding EU funding can be found on the SAAS website.
