If your course starts on or after the 1 August 2021 you will no longer be eligible for home fee status, undergraduate, postgraduate and further education financial support from Student Finance England unless you meet one of the following criteria:
- you are able to benefit from the citizens’ rights agreements

Your rights to live in the UK will not change until 31 December 2020.
Citizens of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland who are living in the UK on or before 31 December 2020 can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) to continue to work, study and access benefits and services broadly on the same basis as they currently do. It is free to apply.
If you want to stay in the UK you’ll have until 30 June 2021 to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme. Check how to continue living in the UK
