1 Current fee regulations prohibit any institution from charging a part-time student more than £6,935 in an academic year, or £6,750 for providers without a TEF award, regardless of how many credits are taken or the intensity of study.
If there are any changes to the fee caps for 2023-24, or the broader student finance package, we will ask providers to confirm any changes to their fees and the financial support they give to students at that point.
