I live outside the UK, but I am a British citizen, what fees do I pay?

Fee Status is determined using the UKCISA guidelines. As a general principle, applicants will normally be regarded as international for fee purposes unless they have been ordinarily resident in the EU for three years immediately before the start of the academic year in which the course begins. For further information for students living or working overseas please visit the Student Finance England website for their page for Britons living abroad, or the University of Exeter’s International Students site.
