The next networking lunch for the International Families Network will be held in the Gulbenkian on Friday 26th May.  This is a social event to support the families of our international students – small children are welcome to come along.

In order to help us with catering, please confirm if you/your family wish to attend by emailing Deborah Molloy at d.molloy@kent.ac.uk.  We look forward to seeing you!

The Department for Education released a statement on 21 April 2017 announcing that EU students  will continue to remain eligible for undergraduate, master’s, postgraduate and advanced learner financial support in academic year 2018 to 2019.

What this means:

• EU students who apply for an undergraduate or master’s course at an English university (or further education institution) scheduled to start in the 2018-19 academic year will continue to have access to student loans and grants and home fee status (meaning they are charged the same tuition fees as UK students) for the duration of their course (regardless of when the UK fully exits the EU).
• EU nationals will remain eligible to apply for Research Council PhD studentships at UK institutions for 2018 to 2019.
