Brexit

European students currently studying at Leeds Trinity

Immigration status

As a citizen of the EU, EEA or Switzerland, the UK's departure from the EU may affect your immigration status.

If you are already a British citizen, citizen of the Republic of Ireland, or have 'Indefinite Leave to Remain' (ILR), you do not need to do anything.

If you are an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, and want to continue living and studying in the UK, you need to secure your status through the EU Settlement Scheme. The deadline for most people to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme was 30 June 2021.

You can still apply if either:

• the deadline for you to apply is after 30 June 2021
• you have ‘reasonable grounds' for why you did not apply by the deadline.

See the UK Government webpage for more information.

Fees and student finance

If you are a non-UK EU student, who started your course in the 2019/20 or 2020/21 academic year, you will have home fee status and be eligible for UK government student loans for the duration of your course.

EU students who currently receive student loans and/or grants from Student Finance England, and EU nationals applying to start courses can find out more from Student Finance England and UK Council for International Student Affairs Brexit page.

Further information

If you have any questions about fees and student finance, please contact our Student Finance Team​.

For all other questions, please contact Maia Sule, International Officer, by email or 0113 283 7100 ext. 959.

British students thinking about studying or working in Europe​

Leeds Trinity continues to participate in the Erasmus+ programme and has been granted funding for projects which have completion dates in 2022. Students are therefore encouraged to apply for the Erasmus+ programme for the 2021/22 academic year.

UK's participation in the next Erasmus programme (2021-27) is not known at this point, but we remain committed to collaborating with our many higher education partners in Europe.

​​European students thinking about studying at Leeds Trinity​

We'd love to welcome you to study at Leeds Trinity, where we are committed to offering a personalised student experience in a friendly and supportive environment. We know each of our international students by name and hope you'll feel at home from the moment you arrive.

Fees and student finance

If you are a non-UK EU student, who will start your course in the 2020/21 academic year, you will have home fee status and be eligible for UK government student loans for the duration of your course. You can find out more from the UK Council for International Student Affairs.

Students from the EU, EEA and Switzerland who plan to begin their studies in the UK after August 2021 will no longer be eligible for ‘home fee’ status, due to the UK’s departure from the EU.

The change will not affect EU, other EEA and Swiss nationals benefitting from Citizens’ Rights under the EU Withdrawal Agreement, EEA EFTA Separation Agreement or Swiss Citizens’ Rights Agreement respectively. If you have secured your status in the UK under the EU Settlement Scheme, you can continue benefitting from the ‘home fee’ status and accessing student finance.

Irish nationals living in the UK and Ireland will continue to have right to study and to access benefits and services under the Common Travel Area arrangement between the two nations.

If you have any questions about fees and student finance, please contact our Student Finance Team​.​
