Document your citizenship EU/EEA

If you're a citizen of a European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland, you aren't required to pay application or tuition fees.

You must document your citizenship

EU/EEA and Swiss citizens are required to provide proof of citizenship for their admissions application to be processed - even the Nordic countries.

Please note that having temporary or permanent residency in an EU/EEA country does NOT exempt you from paying fees. 

How do I document my citizenship?

Provide copies of one - only one is needed - of the following documents:

• Valid passport. For the passport to be considered valid, your copy must reach us no later than 3 months after the expiration date has passed. (For example, if the expiration date is 5 May, your copy must reach us by 5 August.)
• Valid identity card which clearly states citizenship and the card's expiration date. For the ID card to be considered valid, your copy must reach us no later than 3 months after the expiration date has passed. (For example, if the expiration date is 5 May, your copy must reach us by 5 August.) Please note that a driver's license cannot be accepted as proof of citizenship.
• Official document. Citizens of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland who do not have a valid passport or ID card which contains information about both citizenship and expiration date can instead submit an official document which certifies their citizenship. This document must be certified, stamped, and must reach us no later than 3 months after the expiration date has passed. (For example, if the expiration date is 5 May, your copy must reach us by 5 August.) If the document doesn't contain an expiration date, it must reach us no later than three months after the issue date. Please note that this official document must be officially translated to English, French, German or one of the Nordic languages if it's been issued in a different language.

The safest, fastest and preferred method for you to get your document to University Admissions is by uploading a scan of the original to your account here. 

If for some reason you are unable to scan and upload your document, you can send us a copy by regular mail.

When is the deadline for submitting my documentation?

You can find out when the citizenship documentation deadline is for your application round at Key dates and deadlines.

What if I miss the documentation deadline?

Every application round has a deadline for documenting citizenship. If you miss the deadline, your application will be considered late.

Late applications are processed at the discretion of the university after they've considered applicants who submitted their application and documentation on time. 

You will only be considered if there are places available. This will depend on the popularity of the course/programme and how many decline their place.
