Important note for applicants from the UK and European Union

There is a very high level of competition worldwide for degree places at Welsh Universities. Numbers applying from within the UK and the European Union region are especially high. Therefore, we do not accept HEU (Home and European Union) students. 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.
