No, no university will not retroactively refund you money, and in fact even if you were already a citizen you have to have been tax-resident in the UK for the last 3 years to get domestic tuition rates. Remember that UK universities (like state universities in the US) are tax-payer funded, and (same as the US) the tuition break goes to those taxpayers. True example: UK citizens, lived in the UK all their lives until they were posted abroad. 5 years later their daughter went ‘home’ to the UK for university: they paid international fees.

Also, time on a student visa does not count towards the 5 year residency requirement: http://www.1st4immigration.com/british-citizenship.php
