Overseas Students: Fees and Charges

Asked by Jack RankinConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 31 January 2025UIN 24385

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of full-time undergraduate students with British nationality non-domiciled in the UK are paying international fees.

Answered by Janet Daby

The department is not able to identify which non-UK domiciled students who hold British nationality are paying international fees.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) is responsible for collecting and publishing data on the UK higher education sector. These data are shared with the department and includes a wide range of information on students coming from overseas to study in UK higher education providers (HEPs), including their legal nationality. Information on the type of fees a student pays, however, is not collected across all UK HEPs.
