<P> In England , tuition fee caps rose with the Higher Education Act 2004 . Under the Act , universities in England could begin to charge variable fees of up to £ 3000 a year for students enrolling on courses as from the academic year of 2006 - 07 or later . This was also introduced in Northern Ireland in 2006 - 07 and introduced in Wales in 2007 - 08 . In 2009 - 10 the cap rose to £ 3225 a year to take account of inflation . Following the Browne Review in 2010 , the cap was controversially raised to £ 9,000 a year , sparking large student protests in London . A judicidal review against the raised fees failed in 2012 , and so the new fee system came into use that September . </P>
