At Southampton Solent University, fees are being set at £7,800 a year.
And at the University of Hertfordshire, undergraduate fees will range from £7,400 to £8,500.
More than 30 universities have now declared the fees they plan to charge next year, with the majority opting for the maximum.
Those planning to charge the maximum are Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College London, University College London, Manchester, Warwick, Essex, Leeds, Durham, Lancaster, Bath, Birmingham, Loughborough, Exeter, Sussex, Surrey, Liverpool, Aston, Liverpool John Moores, Reading, Kent, Central Lancashire, Leicester, Nottingham and Oxford Brookes.

On Wednesday Leicester University said it would charge £9,000, but would also roll out an annual package of scholarships worth £8.4m. They had originally said universities should charge the maximum only in "exceptional circumstances".
On Tuesday the University of Central Lancashire - a former polytechnic - said it would charge £9,000 a year. But many universities have said they need to charge the highest level of fees to make up for money being cut from teaching budgets.
The University of Portsmouth and London South Bank, both former polytechnics, have said they will charge fees of £8,500, and £8,390 respectively.
