International Teachers’ and Advisers’ Conference 2020 – CANCELLED

What is ‘home status’ for tuition fees purposes? How do universities in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland assess information to provide a fee status? How can you advise your students (and their parents/guardian) on how to query a fee status, and when? Are there differences between countries? Can the fee status improve the chances for my students to gain admission?

Understanding the applicant fee status can help you further understand the admission process, as admission is made on the basis of the fee status classification. This session aims to dispel myths, clarify the process, and provide you with a better understanding of the admissions cycle to help you provide relevant and timely advice to your students, and the families you support.
