Fees Status

The National Health Service (NHS) normally pays the course fees as part of the funding for NHS-funded places (so this applies for most trainees on most courses). Some universities charge a fixed fee regardless of who takes up a training place, but some universities use the trainee's fees status to work out the amount they charge. If you have overseas fees status the fee could be higher than if you have home fees status and the NHS may be unwilling to pay the extra amount. To check which course centres require you to have home fees status, please see the Entry Requirements and Selection Procedure information for each course centre.

You should have home (UK/EU) fees status if you are in one of these groups:

You are settled in the UK
- AND you have lived in the UK for the last three years
- AND during that time your residence was not only for full-time education.
You are an EU national
- AND you have lived in the EEA or Switzerland for the last three years
- AND during that time your residence was not only for full-time education.
You are a national of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland
- AND you are currently working in the UK
- AND you have lived in the EEA or Switzerland for the last three years
You are recognised as a refugee by the UK government
- AND you have lived in the UK since you were recognised as a refugee.
You have applied for asylum and been refused refugee status but have been granted Discretionary/Indefinite Leave to Remain by the UK government
- AND you have lived in the UK since you were granted this status.

If you are not in any of the above groups then you will probably have overseas fees status.
