    2. Tuition Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The University of Gloucestershire reviews its tuition fees and its fee policy annually. The tuition fees you will be charged each year will depend on when you commenced your course, the type and level of the course you are studying and whether you are liable for Home or International tuition fees. The university provides a wide range of study options, so it is important that you understand the cost of your chosen course. You can find complete tuition fee lists on the university\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tuition fees relating to courses commenced in the 2019\/20 academic year will be liable to an annual increase for subsequent years of study. Any year on year tuition fee increase will be capped at RPI plus two percent and, where relevant, will also be subject to the maximum regulated fee rates set by the UK government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The conditions you must meet to be entitled to pay tuition fees at the ‘Home’ rate for study on a higher education (HE) course in England are determined by the UK government. Guidance on these conditions and the relevant fee regulations is available from the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) (www.ukcisa.org.uk<\/a>). If you meet the necessary conditions, including any residence requirements, you are entitled to the ‘Home’ fee rate for your course. If you are not entitled to the Home fee rate you will be charged the International fee rate for your course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The University determines whether you are eligible for the Home fee rate using the information you provided in your application. Where necessary, you will have been asked to complete a fee assessment questionnaire as part of your application to assist the University in this determination. Your fee category will be confirmed to you in the University\u2019s offer letter and will be displayed when you are asked to complete the University\u2019s enrolment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You will be charged tuition fees by the University if you are registered on a course delivered by the University or on a course delivered by one of the University\u2019s sub-contractual partners. This is often referred to as a \u2018franchised\u2019 arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are studying at the University under either an ERASMUS exchange arrangement or a \u2018Study Abroad\u2019 reciprocal exchange arrangement between the University and your home institution you will be charged fees by your home institution and will not be charged fees by the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2.1. Undergraduate courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Students are charged an annual tuition fee for each full-time year of study. A full-time year of study is defined in the University\u2019s Academic regulations for taught provision<\/a>. This fee will be charged at the point of enrolment onto the new year of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Students on a part-time undergraduate course, or a part-time undergraduate year of study, are charged a tuition fee for each of the modules for which they have registered to study during that part-time year. These fees will be charged at the point of enrolment onto the new year of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2.2. Postgraduate Taught courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Students on the following PGT courses are charged on an annual basis in accordance with the undergraduate tuition fee policy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
