Important note for applicants from the UK and European Union students

There is a very high level of competition worldwide for degree places at the University. Numbers applying from within the UK and the European Union region are especially high. Therefore, we do not accept HEU* students. Instead, we strongly recommend that these students consider joining an A Level programme.

*Definition of HEU students

HEU (Home/EU) students include the following categories:

  • Permanent residents in the UK who have been resident in the UK for three years
  • EEA (European Economic Area) migrant workers and their families in the UK who have lived in the EEA for three years
  • EU nationals and their children who have lived in the EEA for three years
  • Refugees (recognised by the UK government) and their families
  • People who have applied for asylum and have been granted leave to enter/remain, and their families

The rules on whether you are classified as a ‘home’ or ‘overseas’ student are strictly defined by the British Government; universities do not have discretion.
