LSE rejects maximum tuition fees

Fri, 27 May 2011

The London School of Economics (LSE) has become the first English elite university to opt to charge less than the maximum £9,000 in tuition fees .

From the 2012/13 academic year, the university will charge an annual tuition fee for UK and EU undergraduates of £8,500.

Of the 90 universities to so far unveil their tuition fee proposals, almost three quarters want to charge £9,000 a year for some or all courses, including all of the elite Russell Group institutions.

Professor Judith Rees, LSE director, said: "We are determined to preserve academic standards and ensure that all students with the ability to benefit are not deterred from applying to LSE.

"In recent years we have put a great deal of resource into widening participation activities and are delighted that we can now expand these."

Earlier this week, Cardiff University became the latest institution to confirm it intends to charge the full amount possible under the new tuition fees system.
