Tuition fee variations

Many programmes last several years, and St Mary’s reserves the right to increase your tuition fees each year, reflecting the changes in costs of delivering your Programme, improving the educational services we provide to you, and any changes in government policy or regulation. Cost increases take account of matters such as increased staffing costs, the need to maintain and renew St Mary’s facilities (for example, buildings, IT and library facilities) and inflation. St Mary’s therefore reserves the right to increase tuition fees annually to recognise these changes.

Tuition fee increases for undergraduate Home students are subject to regulatory control by the UK Government. A tuition fee increase in any one year for returning or continuing Home students, whose programmes are subject to regulated or capped fees, shall not exceed the greater of:

  1. 15% (fifteen percent) on the previous academic year’s tuition fee;
  2. and the average percentage increase in the Consumer Prices Index which is a measure of inflation published monthly by the Office for National Statistics, for the 12 months immediately preceding the decision to increase fees,

subject at all times to the tuition fees not exceeding any tuition fee cap imposed by Government from time to time.

A tuition fee increase in any one year for returning or continuing postgraduate and Overseas students, whose programmes are not subject to regulated or capped fees, shall not exceed the greater of:

  1. 15% (fifteen percent) on the previous academic year’s tuition fee;
  2. and the average percentage increase in the Consumer Prices Index which is a measure of inflation published monthly by the Office for National Statistics, for the 12 months immediately preceding the decision to increase fees.

Where tuition fee increases are applied, St Mary’s will aim to give affected students no less than three months’ written notice before the start of the academic year to which the fee increase is intended to apply.
