    Aston are hoping to charge 9k too. Nothing's final until we hear if the unis have met the criteria that allows them to charge that. Tbh I think it should go on the rep of the course at the uni/the uni in general.

    Why hasn't the rest of the Russell and 1994 Group announced their intentions to do so yet? We all know they will at some point.

    Add Aston to the £9000 group.
    I'm honestly starting to feel like almost every university is going to charge full fees now. The number of universities hoping to charge the maximum seems to be rising and rising.

    Edit: Forgot the link.

    Urgh that looked promising..... but then it wasn't.

    Basically all the Universities that I've ever considered are gonna be 9k. Great.

    The 2012 Fees
    Bishop Grosseteste University College (I know, I've never heard of it either) has set out its intention to charge £7,500 when the fees go up. Oxford, Imperial College, Manchester, Essex, Durham, Exeter, Surrey, Warwick and Aston have said they want to charge the maximum yearly tuition fee.

    Also, governing bodies at Cambridge and Liverpool - and according to documents seen by the local press, Leeds - are preparing to vote on proposals to charge £9,000 per year.

    Just thought you might like to know

    York in meetings have said they need 7.5k to break even. Also there's the worry now that if you charge <9k people will simply think it's not as good as the other universities charging 9k. Ridiculous. The lib dems are going to die a most horrible death

    There was always that worry. When fees were increased to £3k there was exactly the same concern and, in the end, almost all unis charged the full amount. The same is happening now. What a surprise.

    Actually that thread asks which universities have and there are several threads similar to it. That thread is also riddled with misinformation, the thread itself states that Cambridge has announced £9K fees when it hasn't. My thread is stating which universities have, it is not asking it is telling. I thought it might be an idea to actually put all the correct information in one place to answer the several threads asking the same question. As you disagree with this thread it is within your power as a mod to merge it with the thread you mentioned. It really is no skin off my nose, I was merely trying to be helpful. Several threads discussing the same thing appear all the time, often on the most stupid of topics, and as I said its intention was to help. Instead of trying to be condescending to me for creating a useful thread maybe your time as a mod could be better spent monitoring troll threads.

    Errr.....yeah....

    I reported it earlier and a university mod merged it. GB isn't a university mod and therefore couldn't merge it (as he explained).

    Re: Which Universities have announced their 2012 fees?
    All unis will want to charge £9k for 3 main reasons:

    1. Get the most money from home students.

    2. As a mark of quality for prospective foreign students. If a university can't charge home students the maximum, there must be something wrong with the university.

    3. As a mark of quality for prospective external funding bodies. A company or research council would want to give money to the best university, not the cheapest.
