Status question – for studying in the UK.

Post by snowbird44 » Sun Dec 13, 2009 12:31 pm

Originally, I came to the UK on a student visa. Which led me into a 2 year extension (Through Tier 1 – Post Study Work). I am currently on an EEA family visa (my husband is from Germany and we live in the UK).

Recently, I have been looking into PhD programmes, however, I am unsure of my status here in the UK. Am I considered an international student or could I be considered an EU/UK student?

Thank you!

International. U need to have had three years on a non-time limited visa. But YMMV, some have got reduced fees....

You are a home student. As EEA citizens and their family members are treated same way as home students.

Yes but u still need to have had three years on EEA permit and/or other non-time limited visa...
The student is a national of an EU country or is the relevant family member of a UK national, or the relevant family member of a non-UK EU national who is in the UK as a self sufficient person or student, and has been ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area and/or Switzerland and/or specified overseas territories (see note (v) below), or for non-EU relevant family members the EEA and/or Switzerland, throughout the three year period immediately preceding that date, provided that he or she has not been resident therein, during any part of that period, wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education.
