The Government has announced tuition fees in England will rise for the first time in eight years, from £9,250 a year to £9,535 - an increase of 3.1%

Domestic undergraduate tuition fees in England have been capped at £9,250 since 2017 but have been eroded in value by high inflation, forcing universities to rely on uncapped tuition fees from international students to balance their books.

MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis said higher tuition fees - which are due to go up for the first time in eight years - won't change what most students pay each year.
