University and College Fees to be combined from next year
If you’re a graduate student or international undergraduate, the way your fees are charged and presented will change from the next academic year.
Until this year, international undergraduates and graduate students have been charged separate ‘University’ and ‘College’ fees. From the 2019/20 academic year, these figures will be combined into a single figure, known as ‘Course Fees’.
The total amount you pay will not change (apart from inflation), and the change will make it easier to see the overall level of fees you will be paying.

Student blog: Mikaiil shares his experience of the Careers Service
As I approached the summer vacation, it became increasingly apparent that I had nothing productive in plan for the three months I had free. Having seen the consistent email reminders that the Careers Service was always open to help, and with no CV, cover letter, or even any idea what kind of work I'd want to do, I decided to give it a shot. A short 30-minute session is all I booked just to see what exactly they could do to help. If I didn't like it there was no commitment to come back for another session, so why not?
