As a consequence of the UK leaving the EU single market and the ending of freedom of movement on 1 January, 2021, students from the EU, other EEA countries and Switzerland are no longer eligible for home tuition fee status and student loans for undergraduate courses beginning in 2021-22 and thereafter. They face the much higher international tuition fees, without any financial support from the Student Loans Company. The exception made for the children of UK nationals living in the EU, other EEA countries and Switzerland who retained home fee status and eligibility for financial support from the Student Loans Company will no longer apply to students commencing undergraduate courses in October 2028.
Please note that the new rules are complex. You also need to check whether you need a student visa to study in the UK. The British Embassy Luxembourg can provide the information you need about this. You must pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), which is currently £776 per year.
