EU/Overseas quotas for Medicine A100
Dear University of Southampton,
Following the government's announcement after Brexit, since the EU students will now have to pay the same tuition fees as Overseas students when starting university in 2021, does that mean that the EU students will also come under the quota of Overseas students, which is capped at 7% by the government (meaning higher competition)? Or does this simply mean that the EU students will have a different fees structure, but they will fall under the same quota as before—being counted with Home (UK) students?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Kunika Khandelwal
