University of East London

Home Fees status trainees are NHS employees within the London North Thames region, on a fixed-term full-time three-year contract, with university fees paid, and with associated NHS salaries (at the entry point of Band 6 AfC), London Allowance, annual leave entitlement etc.  For the 2027 intake we expect to offer 49 places.

There are up to10 self-funded places available, for international students.  International trainees are required to fund their own place on the course.  International trainees are honorary full-time employees of North London NHS Foundation Trust and are entitled to (unpaid) annual leave on a similar basis to home fee trainees given the full-time nature of training.

International students on the course may not claim travel expenses.  International students on the course may be subject to an Additional Fee Element (AFE). The AFE (also known as a bench fee) is an additional cost, incurred by yourself or your sponsor. It is levied to cover the costs related to weekly clinical supervision within the NHS and private sector, placement travel and research fees.
