The University of Winchester will charge slightly less ,at £6,506, according to the findings the University and College Union (UCU).

• Predicted annual fees at each Uni

The Government has claimed that it would be exceptional for a university to charge more than £6,000 a year, but the UCU analysis has found that every single English institution with undergraduates would have to charge more than £6,000 a year just to maintain current funding levels.

Any institution that breaches or fails to deliver its access agreement would face a fine of up to £500,000. UCU regional official Moray McAulay said: “Southampton really could lose out. MPs need to think long and hard about whether or not they really think record fee levels benefit their constituents or our international reputation.”
