B&FC’s Corporation Board has since approved an increase in HE tuition fees from the previously advertised rate, which will rise by 3.1% in line with inflation (RPI 2024), subject to parliamentary approval. This increase will apply to all our higher education tuition fees. For example, the full time undergraduate annual tuition fee will increase from £9,250 to £9,535.
