Question on student loans for EU Students from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath

Written question answered on Friday 6 April 2018  

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab) asked Her Majesty’s Government whether student loans will be available for EU students studying in the UK during the (1) 2019–20, and (2) 2020–21, academic years.

Answered on 6 April 2018 by Lord Agnew of Oulton, Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education):

EU students, staff and researchers make an important contribution to our universities. We want that contribution to continue and are confident – given the quality of our higher education sector – that it will.

Applications for courses starting in 2019/20 do not open until September 2018, and we will ensure students starting courses in that academic year have information well in advance of this date.
