The Welsh Government will no longer provide support for EU nationals and their family members. Students who begin a course of higher education on or after 1 August 2021 will not be eligible for support or home fee status.
Students who have already started or who start courses before 1 August 2021 will continue to be eligible for support and home fee status for the duration of their course.

UK authorities are unable to provide financial support for students from outside the UK. We recommend that you contact the Ministry of Education or Education Department in your own country for details of scholarship opportunities. You can also contact your nearest <a href="https://www.britishcouncil.org/">British Council</a> office, which will have details of British scholarship schemes.
The <a href="https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/">UK Council for International Student Affairs</a> also provides advice on finance, as well as visas and immigration.

Securing funding is an important consideration for postgraduate students and we encourage you to start your search for financial support as early as possible.
