Update on tuition fees for continuing home students
You may have seen the UK Government announcement regarding tuition fees and maintenance loans and we wanted to share what this means for you as a student that we expect to continue their studies with us in the next academic year.
Please note this information applies to students who are continuing into the 2025-26 academic year and are enrolled as a home student.
From September 2025 the UK Government has agreed a new maximum tuition fee of £9,535 from the 2025-26 academic year which can be applied to all new and continuing students. This is the first increase to the tuition fee limit in seven years.
In the terms and conditions for a student at the University, we state that we will charge the maximum approved tuition fee per year (UK Home Fees). Your tuition fee will automatically increase to this new maximum level when you re-enrol for the new academic year.
If you are applying for a tuition fee loan via the Student Loans Company you can make sure that you apply for the right amount by choosing “maximum loan available”. Or, if you enter the amount yourself, be sure to enter £9,535.00. Applications for student finance for the next academic year are open now.
If Parliament agrees on any further increases in tuition fees, we may increase fees for each new year of study and will communicate any change in the fees to you as soon as possible.
Maintenance loans are also expected to increase by 3.1%. These loans are designed to support you with day-to-day living expenses while studying at university. Nearly half of our UK undergraduate students get £2000 cash back from the University every year via the Chamberlain Award. Check out our Cost of Living pages to see what other support is on offer, ways to save and manage your money On our undergraduate database you can find more detail on funding such as bursaries, scholarships and grants you may be eligible to apply for and on the ways to save page you’ll find a list of ways to get freebies and access to offers exclusively to you as students.
After finishing university, those who have taken out a student loan will not see their monthly student loan repayments increase because of these changes. Repayments don’t start until you have completed your studies and are earning above the earnings threshold. The amount you repay each month after you graduate depends on how much you're earning over the repayment threshold. Find out more about undergraduate student loans.
