Changes to policy and curriculum

Fee Rules (Undergraduate) Wales 2026/27

In March 2026, The Open University published the Fee Rules (Undergraduate) Wales 2026/27. 

There are some changes from the previous version of this policy (Fee Rules (Undergraduate) Wales 2025/26). These are: 

  • "Alternative Format, support and information" section updated to include reference to the Welsh language version of the policy which is available. 
  • Clause 4.9 updated to reflect that the part-time tuition fee loan support for 2026/27 is capped at £2,875 per SAY. 
  • New Paragraph 6.19 added to clarify when funding entitlement and fee liability patterns are assessed and fixed.  
  • Section 7 updated to improve clarity and readability. It has been reorganised into two subsections separating discretionary fee credits and fee refunds. No change to content. 
  • Paragraph 8.2 updated to confirm you will be informed of any additional residential school costs before you register.
