International students are incredibly important. To lose half is devastating and we need to be doing more to encourage them to come.
>Before Brexit, students paid home fees of just over £9,000 and had student finance available. Fees have risen as high as £38,000 after Brexit.
No one in their right mind would chose a UK university for that amount of money. The gap between some european unis and the UK isnt as high as british snobbery likes to think, and with most courses running in english they dont need to come for that either.
Huge brain drain and huge loss of business. How many people now wont do business with the UK because their kids arent in Uni here? Huge ripple effects.
I guess that is not a surprise. Tuition fees have increased from 0 to about 20k a year, and the Erasmus support has dropped from 10k to 0. Only very rich EU students can still afford the 30k pa shortfall.
All in the interest of “profit”, ehm, “surplus”.
this is a serious warning and it needs to be addressed asap.
A country that tells its neighboring countries to fuck off and that it’s better off without them is shocked that no one wants to come to the country anymore.
High food prices, high energy costs, high taxes, high rents, high tuition fees… wha’ts NOT appealing about GREAT Britian???
Its almost as if its not free any more or something
This is tragic. I got so much from studying with people from across the EU
Wow you mean all that railing against/criticizing/mocking/negotiating in bad faith with the “useless” Europeans by Tories, tabloids and conservatives had consequences?
Who could have known??
It’s why recruitment in China and across South East Asia is on the rise, with universities opening up foreign campuses to tempt students and increasing their work with Chinese universities as well. They know they cannot do much within the EU anymore so are focusing on markets further afield. It works though, with recruitment from China going up as EU student numbers go down.
Brexit fans will not care because it doesn’t affect them.
Well surprise surprise, they are now treated as internationals rather than EU students and charged more for it. It’s not much of a shock just another slap in the face.
To be replaced by non EU students is the overlooked part.
Or in other words, EU students choose not to study in the UK as they can no longer access student finance and must now pay for their degree.
It’s almost as if the UK’s universities aren’t good enough to now compete.
Did Brexiteers think every uni was as good as Oxford and Cambridge?
Question, is the Erasmus+ project still going? Because if it is not, UK universitites are extremely expensive and many people from the EU would rather go somewhere else
We’re they not getting it free before and now they have to pay?
