The fee payable by a student can vary depending on a variety factors including the type of course and the student's access route including previous education.
Higher education institutions are responsible for the assessment of student applications to study and responsible for determining the appropriate fee rates payable by a student. In this regard my department does not have a role in assessing individual student applications or determining the rate of tuition fee payable.
Where a student wishes to raise a query in relation to the fee rates determined by a higher education institution the matters should be raised with the institution attended.
