What is my fee status?
If we offer you a course place as an overseas (non-UK or EU) student, you'll have to pay the ‘overseas’ tuition fee. Fees differ for overseas students as we do not receive external funding from the UK Government. However, if you can show a relevant connection to the UK or the EU, you may be classed as a ‘home’ student and therefore be exempt from international fees.
Can I check my fee status?
You must complete a Fee Status Questionnaire to enquire about your fee status.  Your answers will help us determine your rate. You can download the
Fee Status Questionnaire
form and return it for assessment to
international@bcu.ac.uk
.  You must also send copies of all relevant documents supporting your claim. The rules determining which students are charged the higher 'overseas' tuition fee are set by the
UK Government
.
