The university's vice-chancellor, Professor Caroline Gipps, said: "We have come to this decision after careful consideration with stakeholders and through conducting research amongst prospective students, their parents and careers advisors.
"The university delivers an exceptional student experience, including considerable employment support.
"I am confident that our whole package will represent an open and fair deal for future generations of students who choose to study at the University of Wolverhampton."
Ken Harris, president of the university's Students' Union, said it would press for funding support for poorer students.
