The rights of EU nationals here and British citizens in other EU states to access higher education funding systems once the UK has left the European Union will be agreed during the course of negotiations.

There has been no change to date to current reciprocal rights as a result of the referendum.

The Student Loans Company (SLC) has already published reassurance to current students and the '16/17 cohort that they will be able to obtain finance for the full duration of their course.
