BTW,are you considered ‘‘international student’’ if you have a citizenship of ECC ? <<<<






It is NOTHING to do with citizenship and EVERYTHING to do with TAX. This is a very important distinction.

To be treated as a “home” student and pay reduced fees (subsidised by the British Government), you or your parents (if you’re are or were under 18) must have paid tax in an EU country for the last 3 or 4 years. If your parents are working outside the EU, you will have to pay international student fees. This applies to UK citzens as well. Also, it doesn’t count if you’ve been at boarding school in the EU. Your parents must be paying taxes there. If you are a non-Eu citizen but paying taxes in the EU, you would be allowed “home” fees.

Please check the conditions exactly if this may be an issue for you. I am not sure about the number of years.
