Tuition fees: deadline day list | |
(about 6 hours later) | |
As the deadline is reached for submitting tuition fee plans for 2012, every university in England is planning to charge at least £6,000 - with a high proportion clustering around £8,000 to £9,000. | |
More than two thirds want to charge the £9,000 maximum fees for some or all courses - and only a handful are offering all their courses below £8,000 per year. | |
Universities in England wanting to charge above £6,000 are required to submit their plans for approval by the Office for Fair Access (Offa) | |
This agency which protects access for poorer students, says that 122 out of 123 higher education institutions have sent in their proposals, with a single insititution given an extension. This means that no university is pitching fees below the £6,000 threshold. | |
There have also been 17 further education colleges submitting plans to Offa, suggesting that degree courses taught in these colleges will cost more than £6,000 per year. | |
That means that about three quarters of further education colleges offering degrees will charge below £6,000. | |
But among universities, the claim by ministers that maximum fees will be "exceptional" appears to have been widely rejected. | |
About 80 English universities have revealed their tuition fees proposals - and more than two thirds of these want to charge the maximum fees for some or all of their courses. | |
After Offa has approved access agreements with universities and colleges, the final figures for fees are expected in July. | |
