If you don't already know, home students pay only ~3000 pounds per year, and those who can't afford this are either given bursaries or zero/low interest loans. International students pay anywhere from 9000 to 15000 pounds (and even more for medicine/dentistry and Oxbridge colleges) each year.
Fees increase every year (for us they can go up 1000 pounds, easily). The "fees increase" you're talking about is the raising of the fees cap for home students, so that they no longer pay from 0 to 4000 pounds. It's hard to say how much this will affect international students' fees.
Admissions could become affected by a number of factors:
- Major increase in home students' fees means more home students are admitted (relatively)
- Tighter immigrations rules and caps means fewer places for international students (coupled with strict quotas)
- Heavy budget cuts means fewer resources available to schools, and hence fewer places and/or pricier tuition fees
So that means if they increase threefolds, the same can be said for international students too?
