Under new proposals going to Tynwald this month, students will have to contribute at least £2,500 per year towards their tuition fees.
They'd be assisted in doing this through a government loan scheme.
The department says it’s changed the rules after concerns that some lower earning families would have felt unable to take on the responsibility of a loan.
Martin Barrow is the director of education. He says it's a fair deal:
