At most UK universities, International Students have a significantly EASIER time of getting in than others - which is in direct contrast to the best US universities. While domestic undergraduate students pay some £3225 for a year of education, international students pay £13450 for most courses of study (Fees quoted are Oxford’s - [Undergraduate Tuition Fee Rates](http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/studentfunding/fees/fees_0910/new/0910ug.shtml)). Since this is one of the few methods that the public UK universities have of raising money, at many schools, being an international represents significantly more money for the school, and such admissions are easier (which is not to say that they become easy).

As with the US schools, international status usually turns entirely on money. In accordance with EU rules, a student who is a citizen of and ordinarily resident in the EU is a domestic student. Anyone else is an international student.
