A British university education is no longer a bargain. £6000 or £9000, that is now the question.
Ministers have suffered a major blow to their tuition-fee reforms after the government's access watchdog revealed that all universities intend to charge at least £6,000 a year.
The Office for Fair Access (Offa) announced that every one of the 123 universities and university colleges in England intend to charge £6,000 or more to full-time undergraduates from autumn 2012. A further 17 further-education colleges – out of 124 – want to charge fees of more than £6,000. Universities had until midnight on Tuesday to submit their plans to the watchdog.
