The University of Southampton charges 2 levels of tuition fee:
The amount you pay will depend on which you meet the criteria for. This is your university 'fee status'.
Your fee status is based on the criteria for who should be charged home fees in England, as set out by the Government in The Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations 2007 as amended. We make our assessments in line with these regulations. For further information about the criteria please visit the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA).
We assess your fee status when you apply and will let you know your fee status and how much you'll pay in your offer letter. Sometimes we might need more information to help us make the right decision. If so we'll ask you to complete our fee status questionnaire.
If you believe that the fee status you have been assigned does not fit your circumstances, please contact us to discuss this matter.
There are some circumstances where you may become eligible for home fees after you have started your course.
We recommend that you check whether you meet the requirements for any of the ‘home’ fee categories, and contact us if you think you need to change your fee status to ‘home’ fees in time for the next year of your course.
