Dream Solution World Ltd.

🎓 Introduction

Welcome to the Dream Solution World Ltd. guide for Home Students planning to study in the United Kingdom. Whether you’re starting university for the first time or returning to education, this guide is designed to help you navigate the UK education system confidently and successfully.

🏫 Understanding 'Home Student' Status

A home student typically means:

• You have UK nationality or settled status (including Indefinite Leave to Remain or EU Settled Status).
• You’ve lived in the UK for at least 3 years before the start of your course.
• You qualify for domestic tuition fees (lower than international fees).
• You’re eligible for student finance through Student Finance England or equivalents.

🎯 Choosing the Right Course and University

✅ Consider:

• Your career goals: Choose courses aligned with your ambitions.
• University rankings and subject-specific reputations.
• Location: Campus life vs. city life, cost of living, distance from home.
• Course structure: Sandwich courses, placement years, and part-time options.

🔍 Popular Platforms for Course Search:

• UCAS (www.ucas.com)
• Discover Uni (www.discoveruni.gov.uk)

💰 Tuition Fees & Student Finance

As a home student:

• Undergraduate courses typically cost £9,250 per year.
• You can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan from Student Finance England (or regional equivalents in Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland).
• Repayment only starts once you earn above a certain income threshold.

🏠 Accommodation Options

• University Halls: Great for first-year students, social and convenient.
• Private Student Housing: Shared flats, studios, or lodgings.

Tips:
