There will be an additional fee loan for students ordinarily resident in Wales, whose fees increase as a result of changes elsewhere in the UK.
Welsh Government has also confirmed it will continue to implement its response to the Diamond Review. As such, eligible students will receive a student loan to cover the full tuition fee, and £1,000 a year in living costs support. Students may also be eligible for an additional means-tested maintenance grant, based on household income – with the highest level of support going to those most in need.
Student finance update from Welsh Government
The Welsh Cabinet Secretary for Education, Kirsty Williams, has confirmed in the statement that tuition fees in Wales will remain at £9,000 for academic year 2018/19, and will apply to all students ordinarily resident in the UK.
