Uni Home Status /EU Status - British Citizen

[cato12345]

Hello,

Hoping someone can help with something. I hear the Government is raising fees for EU Uni Students from 2020. (at the moment i believe EU status gives same fee level as Home).

Enquiring for my cousin who is a Dual National British Greek Citizen. Born in UK, has a British passport. Lived in Greece since a few months old, currently 16 years old.

If he came to the UK for University next year i was looking at the below and wondering if it would quality him as "Home Student who are 'settled' in the UK and have exercised a 'right of residence' in the EEA and/ or Switzerland."

Its the final bullet that has me: His residence in Greece, from 0-15, although receiving education at school in Greece (obviously), was hardly the reason he was there, he lives there generally!

Thanks

2. Those who are 'settled' in the UK and have exercised a ‘right of residence’ in the EEA/Switzerland

• You are settled in the UK
• You have exercised the right of residence after having been 'settled' in the UK
• You are ordinary resident in the UK on the first day of the first academic year of the course
• You have been ordinary resident in the EEA and / or Switzerland and/ or overseas territories for the three years preceding the first day of the first academic year of the course where ordinary residence was wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education, you have been ordinary resident in the EEA/Switzerland immediately before that three year period

You are right - it is the final bullet point that is in play. As he/she is a resident of an EU country, as things presently stand, this scholar falls to be treated as if he/she was resident in the UK. If the UK Government has announced that this remains the position until 2020, he can legitimately expect to pay no more than a person ordinarily resident in the UK.
