My understanding is that your son would be treated as an international student so would have to pay much higher fees and no student loan. You have to live in the UK for a certain amount of time to qualify for domestic fees/loan.

He can apply to uni for sure. However iirc it requires 3 years residence prior to be considered for resident fees in England (and I think Wales but not 100% sure). I would expect he would be considered an international student and subject to those fees. Hopefully others can confirm if this is correct.

 

Scotland is different again.

Thank you, Scotland is close so also an option
