Can students claim their fee's as tax free?

For the placement students, are they able to get the tax back on the fee's they pay that year?

I think they still have to pay half their usual fee's ( so approx. £600) would they be able to put this in as tax free money and there effecitively save 20% of £600 = £120??)
If so how would they go about claiming this money back?

    If you are talking about normal university students then I presume not as they are not paid upfront, rather after graduation and then it is done through the tax system anyway (so if it were possible to pay out of pre-tax income we would know about it as it would be done automatically).
    The fee's are paid at the start of each year before the 'university year' begins
