Back in December I asked if anyone knew the "maximum tuition fee paid
through postgraduate awards funded by the DfEE" for 1999-2000.
Everyone who responded said that they were expecting the info to come
from DfEE at the start of this year. I contacted DfEE and was told (6
January) that a decision would be made in about two weeks. Today they
have told me they are no longer responsible and that this has been
devolved to the Research Councils. I phoned CVCP and they tell me
they have not yet received the info from the Research Councils. I
then tried EPSRC only to be informed that these decisions are not
taken until the new financial year in April. In previous years we
have known this before Christmas and have used the figure as our
"standard postgraduate fee" and have thus been able to publish the
information reasonably early. It now seems that we may have to wait
until April. Can anyone confirm this and what are others who used
this as the "standard" fee, planning to do?
Thank you
