Support for students applying from Ukraine

We are shocked and saddened by recent events in Ukraine and remain extremely concerned by the continuing situation.

We are very pleased to confirm that students from Ukraine are eligible to enter under the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme (Homes for Ukraine). In applying through these schemes, you would be assessed as a Homestudent for fee purposes. Should you enter on a standard student visa then your fee status would still be Overseas – this is due to legal complexities – and therefore you would be best advised to consider entering the UK on one of the two aforementioned schemes

You can learn more about the schemes by clicking on the links below:
