Colchester County High School for Girls sixth form student, Ella Passingham, recently took the opportunity to interview Pro-Vice Chancellor, Professor Jules Pretty, about the new student finance system affecting students and universities in the UK from 2012. The video, filmed at the University of Essex, was Ella's chance to quiz Professor Pretty regarding the forthcoming increase in tuition fees at Essex and throughout the country. Ella will be amongst the first group of students to pay the increased tuition fee, so she was keen to find out why fees are being increased, what financial support is available to students and how the new student loans will work. tuition fee, tuition fees, fee, fees, funding, tuition, student funding, student fees, university fees, university fees 2012, student fees 2012, tuition fees 2012, university tuition fee, university grant, student grant, degree, course, university of essex, essex university, university, universities, essex, colchester, UK, united kingdom, britain, british, GB, england

Student quizzes University of Essex on tuition fees

Colchester County High School for Girls sixth form student, Ella Passingham, recently took the opportunity to interview Pro-Vice Chancellor, Professor Jules Pretty, about the new student finance system affecting students and universities in the UK from 2012. The video, filmed at the University of Essex, was Ella's chance to quiz Professor Pretty regarding the forthcoming increase in tuition fees at Essex and throughout the country. Ella will be amongst the first group of students to pay the increased tuition fee, so she was keen to find out why fees are being increased, what financial support is available to students and how the new student loans will work.

This video has been made as part of our work to explain the new student finance system to sixth form students and aims to help them make an informed decision about going to university. Essex, along with most other research intensive universities, has announced a proposed tuition fee of £9,000 for all undergraduate courses from 2012. This is subject to the approval of the Office for Fair Access (OFFA).
