Reminder - Direct Entry Course (DEC) and Graduate Academic Skills (GAS) 2026 fees
A reminder from our May's partner update, DEC and GAS fees for 2026 will increase. This has been necessary to manage rising internal costs that are essential for maintaining the high standards you and your clients expect from us. We appreciate your understanding and continued support in our partnership.
| Fees will be implemented as follows: |
| DEC and GAS courses that start in 2025 have 2025 tuition fees applied, even where the course finishes in 2026. DEC and GAS courses that start in 2026 have 2026 tuition fees applied (exception is point 3 below). If your client has a DEC or GAS Offer where the course is starting in 2026 and has an Offer that has been made on or before 10 October 2025 we will honour it at 2025 fees. This means 10 October 2025 is the "cut off" date before 2026 fees are applied to 2026 courses. |
| Please note Admin and Materials fees will remain the same. |
