Re: TSR's 2012 Tuition Fees Tracker - how much are universities charging in 2012?Time to reactivate the fee tracker... 27 HE institutions are lowering their 2012 fees to below £7,500
http://www.offa.org.uk/press-release...t-for-2012-13/
however University of West London is one of them http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-15596986OFFA will not be naming the institutions that have submitted revised agreements. However, when it announces its decisions on revised agreements for 2012-13, it will name institutions whose access agreements have been approved.
The timing has been carefully coordinated with the UCAS cycle to ensure maximum confusion to applicants... -

Re: TSR's 2012 Tuition Fees Tracker - how much are universities charging in 2012?What's the betting that the vast majority (if not all) of those universities are post 1992 institutions. So much for not being able to afford to teach subjects at a lower price point than the 1994/Russell/other universities.

Re: TSR's 2012 Tuition Fees Tracker - how much are universities charging in 2012?about 31 have previously announced fees lower than 9000 according post #2... probably they're tweaking their fees to jump through the latest hoop.(Original post by ajp100688)

I'm not sure if the 20,000 places being offered as carrots are being magic-ed out of thin air or taken off unis with access plans deemed unacceptable... and I'm a bit busy atm. -

Re: TSR's 2012 Tuition Fees Tracker - how mu7529ch are universities charging in 2012?UEA, Heythrop and the Institute of Education are all very close to the £7500 level (or at least they were until the method of averaging was changed) and so I suspect they will be trying to get on the right side of the line. LSE may apply. Although their average fee was £8468, their total cost per student after bursaries was £7529. If they switch from bursaries to fee remission, they could easily qualify.
The 20,000 places have been creamed off all HEIs. That shouldn't be a problem to those with a lot of AAB students, but to others (and some more famous names have low AAB percentages) that is a net loss of students.(Original post by Joinedup)
