£5000 OU fees

The Open University has announced tuition fees of £5,000 per year for the equivalent of a full-time place for students in England from next year.

The majority of universities will charge £9000 for some or all courses.

More than two-thirds of the Open University's students are studying part-time - and the university will be expecting to benefit from the introduction of loans for part-time students.

For a typical part-time Open University student, studying at the level of half of full-time, the fees will be £2,500 per year.
