Fees and admission

I have completed my GCSE and Will be appearing for Alevel this year. I am in Uk for more than 5 years but still doesnot have the permanent status.
I want to do foundation year for pharmacy, is it possible to do foundation year as international student and then remaining course as home student as my ILR would get by next year.
Is it possible to get the foundation year completed from One university and get the credit of foundation year moved in other university.

Usually a Uni wont change your fee status half way through but you need to ask each Uni specifically about this, and if necessary to delay / defer your place until you have ILR sorted out.

Yes, i think your status can be changed after you do the foundation year as an international student and then get your ILR and inform the university of this change and then they can change it for you for
Your first year. But just to make sure call your preferred university and ask them and also you can read the official guidelines on the UKCISA website on the higher education fees section

They wouldnt change it halfway through an academic year, but the rules have changed recently and i think it can be changed in the middle of the course years.

The following is what i copy pasted from the UKCISA website
"Fees for long courses are usually charged one year at a time. It is not completely impossible for someone who starts their course as an ‘overseas’ fee payer to become a ‘home’ fee payer for a later year of the same course. However, it is extremely unusual. You should check for yourself whether you meet the requirements for any one of the ‘home’ fee categories each year, and talk to your fee assessor if you think you have become entitled to ‘home’ fees in time for the next year of your course. Do remember that some categories include a requirement for you to have been ordinarily resident in a particular area for three years before the start of a course. The three years are fixed in time and don’t move as you progress through your course, so you will fail the requirement every year, if you are someone who failed it at the start. "
