Fee status
Guidelines for assessing your fee status (UK, EU or International) are on our 'Payments' page.

ELQ
Withdrawal of funding for equivalent or lower qualifications (ELQs).
If you would be eligible for UK/EU fees according to the regulations stated above, and if you join a study programme for an "ELQ" – a qualification that is equivalent to, or lower than, a qualification that you have already been awarded – Government funding support (which allows lower fees to be charged) is no longer available. For example, if you already have a Bachelor Degree or a postgraduate qualification and wish to join our BMus programme, you would not be eligible to be supported with Government funding and so the lower UK/EU fee rate would not be applicable for your studies. Please contact admissions@ram.ac.uk if you have any queries about this.

Financial Support information is on our Scholarships and Bursaries page.
