Tuition fees in Wales for 2013–14 range from £5,850 to £9,000 for full-time undergraduate degree courses, with the average fee level at around £8,200.

All institutions were required to involve their student unions in finalising their fee plan.

To help offset the increase in tuition fees, fee plans also included proposals for mentoring and raising the aspirations of targeted groups of potential students before applying for university; a range of bursaries for students from low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds; support in areas such as study and employability skills; encouragement to take-up priority subjects such as science, engineering and modern foreign languages, and provide more opportunities for study through the medium of Welsh; and improve ICT and library facilities.

Students ordinarily resident in Wales receive a non-repayable Fee Grant to cover the difference between the maximum tuition fee loan available (£3,575 in 2013–14) and the tuition fee actually charged by the UK university (a maximum grant of £5,425 if a tuition fee of £9,000 is charged).
