Question

Just wondering, Im Irish yeah

and I'd like to study in the u.k preferably near london/slouugh

are there any incentives or anything that help Irish students study in the U.k

would I have to be self financed?

please and thankoo

Answer 1

as far as i'm aware there a no specific incentives for irish people.  As an EU type person you will be eligible for a tuition fee loan, about £3000.

You are also eligible for a living cost loan, again up to £3000.

Not sure if you will pay the same tuition fees as us English or if its more, you'll have to ask the individual universities that

Answer 2

Hiya,

there is no special grant or loan you could apply for (apart from the tuition fee loan).

Since you are an EU student you will pay home fees, so that's a plus, but unless you can get financial aid from your government its going to be pretty hard anyway.

I'm from abroad as well and I cant get any financial aid, I have two jobs to get all my fees covered and still it never seems to be enough!
