Overseas Students: Ukraine

Asked by Mr Will ForsterLiberal DemocratDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 8 April 2025UIN 42205

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the fee status is of Ukrainian refugees when applying for university; which fee level they fall under; and what financial support they are provided with.

Answered by Janet Daby

Those who have been granted leave under one of the Ukraine schemes generally qualify for home fee status and higher education student support in England, without being required to meet the normal 3 year ordinary residence test.

Higher education providers set their own fees in line with the relevant legislation.
