The university has adopted a tiered approach, with three bands of undergraduate fees.
The bands reflect the fact that some courses cost more to deliver than others.
Many of the courses include a paid work-placement which will be charged at 50% of the headline fee.

''We know that fees price out students and make educational decisions come down to ability to pay, rather than ability to succeed.''
