Islands students are Home for fees purposes. They are not funded by the Funding Council, however, and the undergraduates (or their LEA - either Jersey, Guernsey or Isle of Man) pay a special Home fees rate negotiated by the DfEE and the Islands Governments. This year the special rate was based on the Funding Council's new teaching cost groups. There was a proposal to bring the Islands undergraduates into the normal funding mechanism (normal Home fee, plus Funding Council support) for 1999/2000, but I don't know what has happened to the idea. Has anybody out there heard? The special fees rate covers Islands undergraduates only. At UEA we extend it to Islands postgraduates, most of whom are also funded by their LEA.
