Tuition Fees to Stay Low at University of Greenwich
The University of Greenwich is to maintain its distinctive position on variable tuition fees in 2007/8. It will increase its fee only by inflation, charging £2,560 for honours degrees next year, well below the £3,070 annual maximum permitted by government.
Greenwich was one of only three universities to set a low fee for the current year, when it achieved stable undergraduate recruitment in a fiercely competitive market. The university’s fees package includes a cash bursary of £500 a year for mature students on low incomes and an annual cash scholarship of £500 for high achievers.
Tessa Blackstone, Vice-Chancellor, says: “I am delighted that Greenwich’s package of a lower fee combined with bursaries and scholarships appears to have been popular with applicants. This university offers high quality education at an affordable price and every student benefits from paying a fee below the maximum. Our aim is to attract students from a wide range of backgrounds, invest in their education, improve their chances of success and help them into good jobs after graduation.
Separate arrangements apply to students on undergraduate honours programmes in partner colleges who will pay a fee of £2,050 with a means-tested fee discount bursary of £500, regardless of age. Students studying for foundation degrees, HNDs and other sub-degree qualifications will pay a reduced fee of £1,535; the bursary scheme will not apply. The 2007/8 fee for the four year undergraduate programme in Pharmacy, a joint programme with the University of Kent, will be £3,070, backed by a different bursary scheme.
