City University London has became the latest to declare its tuition fees for 2012, announcing it will charge students the maximum £9,000.

The university's vice-chancellor, Professor Paul Curran, said the institution is planning new schemes to ensure poorer students gain access to degree places, including maths tutoring in schools, master-classes and summer schools.
More than 30 universities have already declared their intended fee levels for next year, with the majority planning to charge £9,000.
Those planning to charge the maximum are Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College London, University College London, Manchester, Warwick, Essex, Leeds, Durham, Lancaster, Bath, Birmingham, Loughborough, Exeter, Sussex, Surrey, Liverpool, Aston, Liverpool John Moores, Reading, Kent, Central Lancashire, Leicester, Nottingham, Oxford Brookes and City.
All universities planning to charge more than £6,000 will have to have their fees approved by the Office for Fair Access (Offa), and sign access agreements showing how they plan to ensure poorer students are not priced out.
MPs voted to raise tuition fees to £6,000 from 2012 at the end of last year, with institutions allowed to charge up to £9,000 only in "exceptional circumstances".
But so far, most universities are clustering around the £9,000 mark, with the elite institutions leading the way.
This is causing problems for the Government, which has based its future funding of universities on the assumption that most institutions will charge £7,500.
Ministers have warned universities that if the majority set fees at or close to the maximum £9,000 then they will face cuts to funding and student places.
