Hi
Id like some information please.
I am an irish citizen but i will be emigrating to the uk in summer 2014.
I would like to attend a university and study midwifery.




Would i be entitled to free fees?

I am a 33 year old, single mother to 2 young children who will be attending primary school.




Can you please give me as much information as possible please.

I believe that you'll be classed as an EU student, as you won't have been ordinarily resident in the UK for three years before the start date of your proposed course. In this case:

Non-UK EU Students who do not have EEA Migrant Worker status or a right of permanent residence in the UK may be awarded an "EU Fees Only" award, meaning that they will receive tuition fee support through the NHS Bursary Scheme but they will not receive the maintenance grant element. EU students are not normally eligible for student loans, NHS Hardship Grants or University Access to Learning funds or Disabled Students Allowances.

Beware the word "MAY" highlighted above. This also implies that you may NOT, depending on your circumstances.
