Important information about fees
The HE funding agency, HEFCE, has recently confirmed that any student, who is currently undertaking an FdA or HND programme of study, will continue to pay the current ('old regime') tuition fee rate if they choose to progress to an Honours Top Up programme upon completion of their current course of study. This means that students progressing to Kirklees College Top Up programmes over the next two years will pay the current £2,100 fee on the condition that current study is not deferred at any point and/or there are no changes to the study mode when progressing from FdA/HND to Top Up (i.e. from full time to part time, or vice versa).
