Tuition fees guide published

The recently published National Survey of UK Tuition Fees has revealed wide variations in tuition fees for international and postgraduate courses.

This survey has been published annually since 2002, and is the only comprehensive survey of undergraduate and postgraduate tuition fees across the United Kingdom, covering 150 degree-awarding institutions and relating to the 2011–12 academic year.

The survey reveals that the annual fees for taught postgraduate courses range from £3,400 to £31,750 for home and EU students, and for overseas students outside the EU they range from £7,120 to £35,600.

Dr Bernard Kingston, who helped to complete the survey and is also the founder of The Complete University Guide, says, “There is a wide variation in postgraduate and international student fees, and, in my opinion, has the obvious stamp of a market. There are some straws in the wind for a potential undergraduate market should this be permitted at some point in the future.”

It is interesting to note that this is the last academic year before universities in England and Wales are permitted to charge up to £9,000 a year for undergraduate courses - so we will have to wait and see what effect, if any, this has on postgraduate tuition fees.

And remember if you are looking for help funding your postgraduate programme, you can apply for a Postgrad Solutions Study Bursary worth £500 towards your tuition fees.
