The average student fee at a Kent university has been lowered.

That is because the number of potential students who could qualify for a fee waiver at Canterbury Christ Church University has risen.

That brings the average fee down to just under £7,500.

It comes after The Office for Fair Access (Offa) revised access agreements for the 2012-13 academic year.

Professor Sue Piotrowski, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic) for Canterbury Christ Church University, said: "Following the Government's Higher Education White Paper, we have made some minor changes to our bursary packages.

"We have not changed or lowered our fees from our original announcement of £8,500.

"However, by slightly amending what we can offer in financial help via an increase in fee waivers, more prospective students could be paying £7,500 or less to study at Canterbury Christ Church University."
