Students from the EU

EU students resident in the UK or EEA may be eligible for some of the funding schemes available to home (UK) students.

Full time undergraduate students may apply for help with tuition fees.

EU students may also be eligible to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to cover the cost of their fee liability.

This assistance is assessed by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) EU team. To contact them, please telephone +44 (0 )01325 391 199, or e-mail: euteam@dfes.gsi.gov.uk or visit the DfES website at: www.dfes.gov.uk/studentsupport/eustudents

Part time undergraduate students may be eligible for help with their fees from the University's Fee Waiver Scheme.

PGCE students may be eligible for the Teacher Training Bursary.

EU students are not eligible for the Student Loan, Access to Learning Fund, Opportunity Bursary or help with childcare costs.

Special Emergency Loans Scheme

What is it for?

A fund has been established for the alleviation of emergency financial hardship suffered by European and Part-time International students of the University of Exeter.

Financial support will be awarded on the basis of emergency financial hardship. Applications meriting support could include occasions where a government or corporate sponsor was proving slow to provide a student with living expenses, or where a student unexpectedly needed to return home for family reasons.

Students will not be able to apply for support on the grounds that their national currency has depreciated, since such an occurrence would affect all students from a given country. A student who finds themselves in financial hardship due to mismanagement of their finances will also not be eligible for support.

Financial assistance will normally be in the form of a loan, and in most cases is unlikely to be in excess of £500.

If you think that you might need help from the Fund, see an adviser at the Guilds Student Advice Centre or ask for an application form. Application Packs are available from the Student Funding Team in Northcote House and the Student Advice Centre on Streatham campus.

Who can apply?

You must meet certain residence requirements to qualify for help.

These are as follows:

You must be a full-time student of the University of Exeter of European or International fee status.
You must be resident within the United Kingdom in pursuit of your studies at the University.
If you are an International student, you must be normally domiciled outside the European Union.

The rules regarding residency and immigration status are complex; if you are not sure whether you qualify, please check with the Student Funding Team or the Student Advice Centre before making an application.

You can apply for help from the Fund at any time during the academic year.
