Leeds Metropolitan University to charge £8,500
Leeds Metropolitan has become the latest university to announce its tuition fees, saying students will be charged £8,500 from next year.
The university said it was facing “difficult and tough choices” due to huge cuts in Government funding.
The university is one of the first of the newer universities to officially announce its fee levels.
At £8,500 for undergraduates starting courses in 2012, the new level is close to the £9,000 maximum.
In a statement, Leeds Metropolitan’s chairman of the board, Lord Woolmer of Leeds, said: “We are totally committed to providing a high quality student experience.
“In the face of huge cuts in Government funding we face difficult and tough choices.
“We shall continue to secure cost savings but it is essential that we remain able to invest in high quality university education and facilities for our students.
“We have a proud history of widening participating and will continue to support access into higher education and ensure that our students are successful at university and after they graduate.”
Leeds Metropolitan, a former polytechnic, has about 30,000 students and 3,000 staff.
