University fees for UK/EU student and overseas.

[SAA]

Hello everyone!

I am confused whether I will be able to study for a UK/EU fee in 3 years after I get my spouse visa or in 3 years after I get ILR (so in total it will be 5 years).
My spouse is EU resident in the UK.

If anybody could help me, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Think the general rule is you must have been on a settlement visa for three years when ur course starts.

Some are flexible tho - since they are profit centres and will take any money rather than none!

The criterion is, 3 full years stay in the UK and settled at the time of starting your course.

Any stay by the way of student visa does not count as your stay. In other words, if you stayed here for 3 years under student visa, you need to wait another 3 years to be eligible for home fee.

No need to be settled at the start of your course check the UKCOSA website,
you just need to have been resident in the EEA (including the UK) for three years before the start of your course as a non student and be the family member of an EU national at the START of your course and not necessarily the whole three years. I speak of experience as well as knowledge as in the last year i have spent 1 year on a work permit then 2 years on a EEA family permit all in the uk and now i am doing my MBA paying "home fees" i do not have settled status yet... hope this helps:

Many distance learning courses - eg Open University and University of London External - are not subject to this rule.

But then there'd be no reason for the student to be in the UK!

Not clear what point you're trying to make. This isn't about student visas, but rather education options for new residents of the U.K.
