I am mindful we have not looked at the options put forward. Level 6 and 7 courses have free fees and they usually last three years. Will the institutes also consider looking at level 8 courses of three year duration for people who do not do a level 6 or 7 course but go straight into a level 8 course? Trinity College Dublin is the only institution with set four-year courses. In Trinity the first three years could be free, with fees for the fourth and subsequent years. Perhaps this could be switched around so there is no inequality between levels 6 and 7 courses and level 8 courses.
