Back to Study in UK from oz
Hey guys, I'm a student graduating from my final year of high school in Perth, Australia. I am interested in studying english after school and really want to study it at a uni in the UK. Now i have heard i would not be entitled to benefits as i havnt resided there in the last three years. So what I'm thinking, will they treat me as a international student despite my British citizenship? And also will i have to retake my High school education (eg A-levels etc).
Please help me guys, this is quite a conundrum

Use UCAS to locate universities you are interested in, and then check with those universities for admission requirements.

From what you have written you will be considered an international student, and you won't be entitled to UK government backed student tuition loans etc.
Use UCAS to locate universities you are interested in, and then check with those universities for admission requirements.

It's just an option to consider.

You may find that you are required to do a foundation year (as a fee paying international student) - check with the university of your choice as the others have said

It must clearly be a temporary overseas work situation, not just an "Oh, we always intended to come back" type situation.

Prior to making her application she did a lot of research as to which unis she was interested in and then emailed the admissions team for the subject she wants to study to see if Australian qualifications would be acceptable. Some of them responded that Australian qualifications would not be acceptable, but others have said that they are acceptable and also indicated the minimum ATAR they would require. She then used this information to finalise her choices and she is now waiting to hear.
The big difference she found compared to the uni applications she made here was the requirement for her to submit a personal statement and provide contact details of someone who would submit a reference (in her case her head teacher).
We have accepted that she will be an international student because we have been away from the UK for almost seven years and cannot claim that this was a temporary posting, despite the fact that it was always intended to be!
Best of luck.
