Tution Fees

[mansawant]

Hi,

I am depedent of workpermit holder. After two years we will be eligible for ILR. I am here in UK since Jan 05 as a depedent. I would like to know once we get ILR I will be eligible for UK tution fees in universities or I have to pay overseas tution fees.

Thanks & Regards,
Mansawant

Follow the link for more details. Essentially you need to be a dependent here for 3 years before you start Uni. So as long as you start after Jan '08, and after ILR, then you would be eligible for home fees. And student loans etc, depending on further means criteria of course.[/url]

Distance learning institutions, such as the Open University and University of London (External) may only need UK residence, not necessarily 3 years.
