Fees Warning for Gap year for A-level Students

Filed under:

A-level students still considering a gap year before university were warned they must act this week to avoid paying higher tuition fees.

Those starting university this autumn will pay an annual tuition fee of 1,175, but from next year new students face top-up fees of up to 3,000 a year, although payment would not be made until after graduation when earnings exceed 15,000 a year.

Students taking a gap year will pay the same as those who start in 2005 - but only if their university has confirmed by August 1 that they have deferred their place.

Rob Murray John, from Trekforce Expeditions, a specialist gap year charity, yesterday urged those with offers to start degrees this September to consider their options.

Mr Murray John advised students who change their minds and decide to take a gap year to contact their university this week to defer their place.
