HOME AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Whether you already live in the UK or want to come here to study, we help you choose a course, prepare your documents and move your application forward.
We explore options, entry requirements, campuses and intakes to suit your profile and application route.
We explain the documents, academic qualifications and English requirements you need, and help you organise your application.
We coordinate the next steps with our education partners and support you through admission and enrolment.
Our guidance is free for both routes. The institution decides admission. Tuition fees, funding and requirements are reviewed for each case.
INFORMATION TO HELP YOU DECIDE
Clear guides to courses, documents and funding. With official sources when you want to learn more.
If you're a European citizen living in England, your EU Settlement Scheme status decides what funding you can apply for to study a degree. We explain it clearly, with no small print.
Read the guide →A Student Finance loan isn't like a bank loan: you only pay if you earn more than a minimum, you pay according to what you earn and, after a while, anything left is written off. We explain it with numbers.
Read the guide →A negative answer isn't always the end. Often a document is missing, some information is wrong or there's another route. We tell you what to check and what you can do.

Know what to expect from the start. If your circumstances are different, let’s talk them through.
Talk to us on WhatsAppYes. CalmaLink does not charge you for the guidance and admissions support described here. Our partners pay us, not you. University tuition, accommodation and personal costs are separate.
No. We work with both Home students already living in the UK and international students. Admissions routes and funding options depend on your circumstances.
You may qualify if you meet the personal and course requirements. Living in the UK or holding settled or pre-settled status is not enough on its own. We review your situation and guide you; Student Finance makes the decision. Loans have repayment conditions. Official Student Finance information ↗
Some courses offer a Foundation Year or entry routes that consider work experience. This depends on the programme and institution. Check the course requirements or tell us about your situation.
Tell us what support you need. We help you ask the institution about accessibility and learning support before you decide. Availability is confirmed with each institution.
To receive a Maintenance Loan you normally need regular in-person teaching during the week. Weekend-only attendance does not normally meet these requirements. Confirm the timetable and any applicable exceptions with the provider and Student Finance England before enrolling. The provider checks the English level required for the course for both Home and international applicants. Your self-assessment does not replace their assessment.
