Urgent help

I am starting my uni at 2025 for pharmacy and I would be in uk for three years before uni starts. I know some unis would consider you as an international student cause I don't have a pr but some unis consider you a home student cause you have a British residency permit. Could u pls tell which uni would give me a home student fee

Hi,

The government has changed the policy regarding this, and most universities should offer home student status if you have been living in the UK for over 3 years.

This is a link to the statement issued
Eligibility rules for home fee status and student finance from the 2022 to 2023 academic year onwards - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Student finance for undergraduates: Eligibility - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

These are Student Finance England contact details:

Telephone: 0300 100 0607
Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm
Saturday, 9am to 4pm
Sunday, 9am to 4pm

Hope this helps,
