The Department for Education has announced it intends to change both the Home tuition fee limit and the value of maintenance loans from September 2025.
If you are an international student or a postgraduate student the fee you pay is not affected.
Tuition fees
- The full-time undergraduate home tuition fee will increase by 拢285, from 拢9,250 to 拢9,535.
- The part-time undergraduate home tuition fee will also increase by 3.1%. The fee will now be 拢2,383.75 per 30 credit module per year.
There is a specific exception for the following four extended degrees:
- The full-time home tuition fees for鈥痶he first year only (foundation year) of BA Accounting and Finance (Extended), BA Business Management (Extended), LLB Law (Extended) and BSc Criminology and Criminal Psychology (Extended) have reduced from 拢9,250 to 拢5,760 (拢3,490 reduction).
If you apply and qualify for a tuition fee loan from your student finance provider (for most students that will be ) this will continue to cover the full tuition fee amount.
Maintenance loans
There will also be a 3.1% increase to maximum student maintenance loans for the 2025/26 academic year.
All students who apply and qualify for a maintenance loan from your student finance provider (for most students that will be ) will automatically qualify for this uplift in support.
How much you will repay every month
This won't have any impact on the amount you repay each month after graduating.
This will be 9% of anything you earn over 拢25,000 a year if you’re from England, which is exactly the same as it is now, and doesn't change based on how much you owe.
(Note: that 拢25,000 figure is if you're from England. If you're from Scotland it's 拢31,395, from Wales it's 拢27,295 and if you're from Northern Ireland it's 拢24,990).
