British Students in the EU Face Sharply Higher Fees When Post-Brexit Transition Ends

From 2028, British students studying in the UK will be reclassified as international students, pushing annual tuition from £9,790 to £35,000-plus. The post-Brexit grace period expires then; students must establish three years of UK residence before their degree begins to qualify for domestic rates. The 2020 Withdrawal Agreement protected EU nationals studying in Britain but offered no reciprocal safeguard for Britons abroad.
