Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 17 May 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills whether there are circumstances in which a university may vary the published fees for a course after September 2012.
holding answer
Individual institutions determine their tuition charges including any discounts or waivers as a contribution to the National Scholarship Programme or as part of a broader institutional package of financial support to promote access to higher education.
Any institution that considers altering its previously advertised prices or support package will need to consider the wider implications of such change, not least if it would be unfair on applicants who may have already accepted a higher charge or different support package for the same course. The Director of Fair Access has indicated that in such circumstances he would expect that institutions will want to offer the same financial package to all eligible applicants, including students who have already accepted an offer, not just those who applied late in the cycle.
