Assistance for Ukrainian students pursuing higher education in the United Kingdom
Good news for Ukrainians, arriving to the UK and dreaming to study in one of the UK’s universities!! Ukrainian refugees coming to the UK through the two visa routes:
- Ukraine Family Scheme and
- Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme
will be able to live, work and study in the UK and access public funds immediately.
The UK government stands for Ukraine and is showing great support to those who fled the war in Ukraine. Starting from September 2022, Ukrainian students will be considered as Home, and thus will have access to student loans. A student loan is money borrowed from the government in order to pay for college or university. Apart from covering their tuition fee, which is £9,250 per year, Ukrainian students are also eligible for maintenance loan, up to £15,000 per year.
Once arriving to the UK through one of the above mentioned routes, you need
- to apply for biometrical resident permit (BRP), the document that allows to live, work and study in the UK
- National Insurance Number

Apply for Postgraduate Course
You will need to submit photocopies of your qualification documents to UK NARIC. UK NARIC can provide two officially-recognised documents. The first is a Statement of Comparability, which will include information about the standards of your awards in comparison to UK qualifications. It confirms the status of overseas qualifications and their comparable level in the UK. The second one is Career Path Report, that provides more detailed information about how an individual’s qualification compares to UK levels, the education system where the qualification was studied and recommendations for future study and/or professional development in the UK.
“Access to student support is crucial in enabling refugees to attend education to improve their skills and enhance the ability of Ukrainians to contribute to the UK, or to the rebuilding of their home country,” says universities minister Michelle Donelan.
