English student studying Northern Ireland

I live in England and I'm thinking of applying to Ulster. Do Student Finance England cover English students applying to study in Northern Ireland?

Hi there,

When would the course start and how long have you lived in England? Would you be moving to Northern Ireland for the purpose of study?

Thanks, Drew

I've lived in England all my life. I would be moving to Northern Ireland for the 2026/27 academic year for an undergraduate degree.

I want to know if Student Finance England fund English students studying in Northern Ireland, the same way they would if English students studied in Wales or Scotland? I.e tuition fee and maintenance loan?

Thank you

Hi mike1115,

Yes, if you are ordinarily domiciled in England and are in Northern Ireland for the purpose of study only, you would apply through Student Finance England.

Thanks, Clare
