<p>To help give certainty we announced guarantees on student finance for EU nationals.</p><p>The
government announced in July 2018 that EU nationals (and their family members) who
start a course in England in the 2019/20 academic year or before will continue to
be eligible for ‘home fee’ status and student finance support from Student Finance
England for the duration of their course, provided they meet the residency requirement.
These guarantees apply whether the UK leaves the EU with a deal or not. Applications
for courses starting in academic year 2020/21 do not open until September 2019. We
will ensure students and institutions have the information they need well in advance
of that date.</p><p>Students from the EU make an important contribution to the universities
sector and it is a testament to our system that so many students from abroad choose
to come and study here. The arrangements for EU nationals will be considered as part
of wider discussions about the UK's relationship with the EU. We continue to assess
options to prepare for those discussions.</p>
