The British education minister Damian Hinds reported this Monday to news website iNews.

The tuition fee of British universities for EU students will not exceed that of British students in the academic year 2019-2020. This amount remains the same throughout the study programs.

Students from the European Union also still have access to the same assistance. The Scottish government had promised this before.

British universities were worried that the number of students and the amount of funding would be significantly reduced if no Brexit deal were to be closed. Currently, there are 135,000 EU students in the United Kingdom.
