Am I home student or international?

Hi,

I want to ask some clarification on whether I would be classified as a home student or international student when applying to universities in the UK. I have received different answers from different universities so I am a bit confused.

I am a UK national that has been living in the EU/EEA since brexit till now. According to the information on the UK government student finances page:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/639860a3d3bf7f3f7e76245d/Eligibility_rules_for_home_fee_status_and_student_finance_from_the_2021_to_2022_academic_year.pdf


;I would be eligible for home fees fulfulling the following conditions:

- they were living in the EEA or Switzerland on 31 December 2020 (or have moved
back to the UK immediately after living in the EEA or Switzerland);
- and they have lived in the EEA, Switzerland, the UK or Gibraltar for at least the last three years; and
- they have lived continuously in the EEA, Switzerland, the UK or Gibraltar between 31 December 2020 and the start of the course.

So I am a bit lost as to whether I am eligible or not...

Hi Jason, thanks for your help. Where do they say that? How would that work if I have to have been living in the EU for at least 3 years immediately before the start of the course?

My course begins in September and I am planning to move in April

No I've been living in the EU/EEA the past 3 years. Thanks! Phoebe

Thank you and finally was this a temporary break and was this for school or work purposes? Thanks, Jason
