Also eligible are non-British nationals who have settled status (which is accorded to those who are resident in the UK and either have indefinite leave to remain or right of abode) AND have been resident in the UK for 3 years immediately prior to the date of the start of the course.

European Economic Area nationals who have been resident in that Area for the past 3 years AND are working in the UK at the time of the start of the course (or their spouse or (step)parent are) AND are resident in the UK at the start of the course are eligible as EEA migrant workers.

European Union nationals are in any event eligible for a fees-only award, and, in the event of receiving such an award, would have to make separate arrangements to defray the costs of shelter and subsistence.

International prospective students need to make sure they know the relevant facts about fees and funding; specific information relevant to your country of origin is also available. Those who do not satisfy residence requirements may find alternative support through Warwick University or the British Council.
