University tuition fees could be lowered...

There are thousands of teenagers across the UK currently preparing to apply for university. The majority of them will want to apply before a deadline in mid-January. However, as we read in a recent BBC article, the choice that the students make could be drastically effected with nearly 30 universities in England considering lowering the fees they have said they will charge from next year.

Over the past year the Government Fees will rise up to a limit of £9,000 next year but the changes mean some universities might want to charge less. With the proposed reduction of fees at some universities means that young people hoping to apply for university next year cannot yet be certain of the fee levels of the institutions they are considering applying to. In addition to this, the cost of university fees may also affect students decisions on whether they want to save on living cost by applying to a university closer to home rather than studying in a city further afield.

A huge proportion of Grant Property's tenants are students and the changes in university fees have greatly effected thousands of students across England. Currently, Scottish students studying in Scotland will pay no fees and Welsh students will be subsidised wherever they study in the UK.
