UK student paying overseas fee

Hmm. Not too sure if you can change unless you change university this year, but you would have to apply for the next cycle, and in that case the home fees would be a lot higher anyway and it wouldnt be for certain you would get home fees.

I have also not lived in the UK the past three years (living in asia), but before applying to universities I emailed and checked what fees I would pay. All of manchester, leeds, nottingham and UCL offered me home status. It helps if you:
- have/had property in the UK
- your parents are overseas on a temporary contract
- you can prove UK is basically your 'home' e.g. evidence of flights there in the holidays etc

cheers, although it can't help me but this really helps for my younger siblings.

I feel like a cash slave in the UK for paying overseas fee despite my parents have paid British taxes in the past.

What if these three "if's" are applied to the EU, e.g. have/had a property in the EU?

I'm a first-year undergrad student who is paying overseas fee even though I am a British Citizen.

The reason being for that is that I have not lived in the UK in the past three years and this is true because I have lived in Hong Kong prior to university.

Is there a way I can change my fee status, or perhaps receiving student loans? Is the Citizens Advice Bureau a good place to start for me to contact?

I don't want my parents paying astronomical fees per year as my parents may soon run out of money

Are you a Chinese Passport holder as well? Do you have a Hong Kong stamp or Visa showing that you have been living overseas for 3 years? If not, they how would they know that you have been living abroad for 3 years?

As an EU Citizen, you have a legal right to be treated as a national of the EU Country that you are in, and it is not dependent on whether you have been living in your own country (UK) or not. So, bearing this in mind, you should be able to go to Germany or France and pay either nothing or very very low fees, if you can speak the language. Good luck.

i'm in the same boat as you but I think as soon as you start paying international fees you can't switch to home..

No, I don't hold a Chinese Hong Kong passport, yet I have permanent residency in Hong Kong thus there are no stamps in my British passport.

(pity Hong Kong was forced by some aggressive Chinese officials to become a Chinese overseas territory (The Chinese officials are jealous of the British territory's wealth status) otherwise the problem could of been eliminated)

Cheers for the info btw!

So let's all cheat then eh?

not really,

it just sucks that the UK fee system puts EU citizens (non-UK taxpayers) on top of UK citizens (being a UK taxpayer at some point)

my case is the opposite of yours tho i have lived in uk 3 years before i started uni and now have my british citizenship.....wondering if i would be eligible for home fees?
