Tuition Fee Adjustment 24/25

The Welsh Government recently increased the tuition fee cap in Wales from £9,000 to £9,250, aligning fees with those in England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Starting September 2024, your tuition fees will be adjusted to £9,250, bringing them in line with other UK nations and most Welsh universities. This decision comes as a response to sustained inflationary pressures that have impacted universities across the UK.

Our commitment to providing an exceptional teaching and learning environment remains unwavering. Therefore, we have made this decision to ensure that we can continue delivering and funding the high-quality education and student experience that we pride ourselves on. 

Tuition fees play a vital role in sustaining an excellent academic environment and quality learning and teaching, the provision of facilities such as our Libraries and specialist laboratories, and world-class equipment and software.
