- Once the Applicant has accepted his or her offer in line with term 2.5 of the ICRGU conditions (icrgu.navitas.com/conditions) the amount 

of Tuition Fees for the first year of your Programme is fixed.

- Fees for any subsequent years of study before Progression are reviewed annually and will not usually increase by more than 5% (five percent) per year.

changes by regulatory, professional or academic bodies; and ensuring parity with Partner University tuition fees. The College will give as much 

notice as possible of any such Tuition Fee changes. The College has no control over or responsibility for fees payable to third parties, which
