<p>EU students, staff and researchers make an important contribution to our universities.
We want that contribution to continue and we are confident, given the quality of our
higher education sector, that it will. We have agreed with the EU that current EU
principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination will apply during the implementation
period.</p><p> </p><p>We have agreed as part of the Withdrawal Agreement with the
EU that those who are resident in the UK before the end of the implementation period
will have a right to apply for leave to remain in the UK thereafter. Those within
scope of the Withdrawal Agreement and who meet the relevant eligibility requirements
will have access to home fees status and student loans after the end of the implementation
period.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise how important it is that students and institutions
have information on eligibility for student support before applications for courses
open. With regard to the academic year 2019 to 2020, we will ensure ensure that this
information is available as soon as possible.</p>
